Trans-Atlantic Lambda Economics 40 years ago, 300b USA to Netherlands cost US$4.00/minute

Trans-Atlantic Lambda Economics 40 years ago, 300b USA to Netherlands cost US$4.00/minute. Now, an OC-192 (10Gb) USA to NetherLight costs US$0.46/minute* (and there >1000 available) That’s 300,000,000 times cheaper! *if you buy it for 525,600 minutes and manage it yourself.

  1. Trans-Atlantic Lambda Economics 40 years ago, 300b USA to Netherlands cost US$4.00/minute Now, an OC-192 (10Gb) USA to NetherLight costs US$0.46/minute* (and there >1000 available) That’s 300,000,000 times cheaper! *if you buy it for 525,600 minutes and manage it yourself

  2. What Changed Since Euro-Link Started ~Six Years Ago? • The Grid emerged for distributed computing applications • Lambdas available at reduced prices • 1GE and 10GE switching/routing possible • StarLight built for electronic and optical peering of international networks • StarLight partners formed GLIF • GLIF building the LambdaGrid – lambda networks becoming a grid resource, just like computers, data stores and instruments • Low cost alternatives to big routers installed

  3. GLIF Exchanges are Propagating Worldwide • GLIF Exchanges are open exchanges (StarLight, NetherLight, UKLight, NorthernLight, Pacific Wave, MAN LAN, T-LEX…) • GLIF Exchanges deliver Grid cyberinfrastructure services, such as computing, storage and visualization support • GLIF Exchanges can deal with big data streams and map them economically to the least expensive services they need

  4. Scientists have Multi-Gigabyte Data Objects to Visualize • Hundreds of megapixels 2-D images • Microscopy or telescopes • Remote sensing • 32 bits/pixel • GigaZone 3-D (1Kx1Kx1K) objects • Supercomputer simulations • Seismic or medical imaging • Zones are multiple 64-bit word entities • Interactive analysis and visualization of such data objects is impossible today • Pictures are the focus of the OptIPuter project

  5. Today’s Aerial Imaging is >500,000 Times More Detailed than Landsat7 Shane DeGross SDSU Campus 30 meter pixels Source: Eric Frost, SDSU 4 centimeter pixels Laurie Cooper, SDSU

  7. What’s a 10GE CAVEwave Cost? • Less than a 1GE Internet connection • About what a network engineer or full professor costs, fully loaded • Much less than the computers at each end to keep it busy • Much less than the router capacity needed at each end to accept the 10GE • A bit less than a 10GE USA to Amsterdam costs • Your institution needs to be a NLR member

  8. International ExperimentalLit up Lambdas Today Northern Light European lambdas to US (red) –10Gb Amsterdam—Chicago –10Gb London—Chicago –10Gb Amsterdam—NYC Canadian lambdas to US (white) –30GbChicago-Canada-NYC –30Gb Chicago-Canada-Seattle US sublambdas to Europe (grey) –6Gb Chicago—Amsterdam Japan JGN II lambda to US (cyan) –10Gb Chicago—Tokyo European lambdas (yellow) –10Gb Amsterdam—CERN –2.5Gb Prague—Amsterdam –2.5Gb Stockholm—Amsterdam –10Gb London—Amsterdam IEEAF lambdas (blue) –10Gb NYC—Amsterdam –10Gb Seattle—Tokyo CAVEwave/PacificWave (purple) –10Gb Chicago—Seattle –10Gb Seattle—LA—San Diego –10Gb Seattle—LA UKLight Japan CERN PNWGP Manhattan Landing

  9. GLIF is Taking Off!

  10. Bring Us Your Lambdas! • Please bring Linda your lambdas • Build GLIF Exchange • Propose an application or network experiment

  11. Announcing… September 26-30, 2005 University of California, San Diego California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology [Cal-(IT)2] United States i Grid 2oo5 THE GLOBAL LAMBDA INTEGRATED FACILITY
