DOME diverse outdoor mobile environment

Cluster D Spiral 2 meeting

Mark Corner, Brian Levine, Brian Lynn

Progress in Year OneOfficial Milestones

◦1a) Hardware installed (completed)◦1b) Virtualization of OS (completed)◦1c) virtualized WiFi access (completed)◦1d) Setup GENI control framework

(completed)◦1e) v1.0 of software (started)

DOME portal (completed) Experiment execution and control on buses

(completed)

◦1f) demo basic control functions◦1g) Cluster D framework (ORCA) integration

(started)

Integration with ORCADevelopment of DOME ORCA controller

and handler◦Controller: initiate requests for leases◦Handler: perform actions based on leases

being granted and revokedDOME portal interfaces to ORCA

◦Scheduling an experiment invokes ORCA◦Portal takes action on behalf of the handler◦Leases are communicated to buses

ORCA instance to be shared with ViSE◦geni.cs.umass.edu (with ViSE)

Connection to Internet2In discussions with local OIT staffWe will connect

geni.cs.umass.edu to Internet2 directly ◦via fiber from campus to Springfield

to BostonWorking in tandem with ViSE

team(Won’t be to buses.)

Experiments by OutsidersDOME Portal (next slide)• Upload experiments for distribution to buses• Schedule experiments• Get status• Interface to ORCA

Experiments on Buses:• Disruption tolerant downloading of experiments to

buses• Dynamic creation of VM sandbox to execute

experiments Partitions, networking, devices

• Scheduling of experiments based on ORCA leases• Asynchronous logging of guest VM events• Disk space management (Garbage collection, prioritization)

• Upload status to portal (Experiments installed, started, failed)

Plans for Year2/Spiral2Our goal is to deploy on buses this

summer◦Reduced bus schedule, greater access◦Must do it right the first time◦Creating a development/test environment◦Undergrad projects in the fall from “Intro to

Networking” class.Also in Spiral 2:

◦Allow experimenters access to XTend radios◦Integration with master GENI clearinghouse◦True open access to testbed by

experimenters
