  3. GENI Experiment Lifecycle

  4. GEE Experiment Lifecycle

  5. Analog in Commercial World: EC2 vs Google App Engine • EC2: • Create VM(s) • Install and configure software • Deploy… • Google App Engine • Write program • Upload • Not magic! • When you need a VM, you need a VM… • Google App Engine is simple because it makes most decisions for you…

  6. TransGeo: A Model TransCloud Application • Scalable, Ubiquitous Geographic Information System • Open and Public • Anyone can contribute layers • Anyone can host computation • Why GIS? • Large and active community • Characterized by large data sets (mostly satellite images) • Much open-source easily deployable software, standard data formats • Computation naturally partitions and is loosely-coupled • Collaborations across geographic regions and continents • Very pretty…

  7. TransGeo Sites (May 2013)

  8. TransGeo Architecture

  9. Opening up TransGEO: The GENI Experiment Engine • Key Idea: Genericize and make available the infrastructure behind the TransGEO demo • Open to every GENI, FIRE, JGN-X,…experimenter who wants to use it • TransGEO is a trivial application on a generic infrastructure • Perhaps 1000 lines of Python code on top of • Key-Value Store • Layer 2 network • Sandboxed Python programming environment • Messaging Service • Deployment Service • GIS Libraries

  10. GENI Experiment EngineMcGeer, Mambretti, Bavier, Coady, • Permanent, Long-Running, Distributed File System • Permanent, Long-Running, GENI-wide Message Service • Permanent, Long-Running, Distributed Python Environment • Permanent, world-wide Layer-2 VLANs on high-performance networks • All offered in slices • All shared by many experimenters • Model: Google App Engine • Advantage for GENI: Efficient use of resources • Advantage for Experimenters: Up and running in no time

  11. GENI Experiment Engine Architecture

  12. Staged Rollout • Permanent Layer-2 Network Summer 2013 • Shared Fole System based on (Swift) Summer 2013 • First Python Users Fall 2013 • Shared Python environment Summer 2014
