Position Paper on Campus Bridging Software and Software Service Issues

Mon, 08/23/2010 - 13:26 — ssimmsDifficulties with data movement between resources and data management across administrative domains can create barriers for the process of scientific discovery. Indiana Universtity believes that the use of a wide area filesystem can be a very effective way to facilitate data sharing across distance and enable workflows spanning geographically distributed resources. The goal of this paper is to provide a few examples of how Indiana University has used the Lustre filesystem to span a single campus and bridge multiple campuses.
The OptIPortal, a Scalable Visualization, Storage, and Computing Termination Device for High Bandwidth Campus Bridging
Thu, 04/01/2010 - 00:48 — lsmarrWhen an end-user connects their lab to a 10Gbps dedicated optical lightpath, instead of the shared Internet, they will have to deal with an incoming flow of data some 10-100x as great. This means that the termination device must scale up in computing, storage, and pixel real estate from the PC, which is the appropriate termination device for the shared Internet. We describe a class of such scalable termination data analysis and visualization devices, termed OptIPortals, and describe their various hardware configurations and software systems.
A High-Performance Campus-Scale Cyberinfrastructure For Effectively Bridging End-User Laboratories to Data-Intensive Sources
Thu, 04/01/2010 - 00:40 — lsmarrUCSD, building on a decade of NSF grants, has created a campus-scale system of 10Gbps optical light paths connecting data-intensive sites with high performance computing and storage devices. This integrated system is a prototype of future campus high performance cyberinfrastructure for bridging end-user laboratories with campus or remote large data sources.
Regional Cyberinfrastructure as a Bridge Between Campus and National CI
Wed, 03/31/2010 - 16:28 — GregA critical emerging problem is the cyberinfrastructure divide between the computing environments for researchers a) on their home campuses, b) at HPC centers of other universities where they may collaborate and c) at national CI centers such as the TeraGrid, the OSG and national data repositories.
The Role of a Data-Intensive Network (DIN)
Wed, 03/31/2010 - 16:13 — g-almesThe Data Intensive Network idea is presented and discussed as a simple approach to enhancing the data-handling abilities of campuses, with particular emphasis on enhancing high-speed wide-area flows among cyberinfrastructure resources on campus and at national centers.
A Strategy for Campus Bridging for Data Logistics
Wed, 03/31/2010 - 11:16 — terry.mooreAs data intensive methods of research have escalated and spread to more and more fields over the past decade, sites at all tiers in the research community, but especially Tier 3 CI sites, have faced mounting problems of data logistics, i.e. problems in the management of the time related positioning of data. Since the trends producing these logistical challenges show no sign of abating, it seems clear that an adequate cyberinfrastructure strategy for campus level bridging must address this critical problem area.
Extending Cyberinfrastructure Beyond Its Own Boundaries -- Campus Champion Program
Wed, 03/31/2010 - 09:02 — skayhuntTeraGrid is a national-scale high performance computing facility funded by the Office of Cyberinfrastructure at the National Science Foundation to provide resources and services in support of advancing scientific research and education. TeraGrid (TG) includes 11 Resource Providers and is a leader and major component of the emerging national and international cyberinfrastructure (CI). The TG (soon to be followed by eXtreme Digital or XD) provides free access to computing resources and services to all researchers and educators.
