  1. International Networking and Cyberinfrastructure • CISE Reorganization Status • International Networking Solicitation • Cyberinfrastructure Douglas Gatchell <dgatchell@nsf.gov> Program Director International Networking National Science Foundation, USA

  2. International Networking • New solicitation • Priorities • Enable and Enhance communications, collaboration and cooperation by connecting aggregation points • Enhance connectivity to new regions • Support connections between share cyberinfrastructure • Cooperate to support domain specific CI

  3. NSF Supported International Links • TrasPAC • Tokyo-LA, Tokyo-Chicago • Euro-Link • Chicago – Amsterdam/CERN • NaukaNet • Chicago – Moscow & China • AMPATH • Miami – Rio & others

  8. Cyberinfrastructure Characteristics • Community-Focused • virtual organizations • distributed, • collaborative • Scale and Scope • Multidisciplinary • International • Supporting data- and compute-intensive applications • High-end to desktop • Heterogeneous • Common Technology & Policy Platform(s) • Interoperability • Supports characteristics above

  9. Evolution of the Computational Infrastructure Cyberinfrastructure TCS, DTF, ETF Terascale NPACI and Alliance PACI NSF Networking Prior Computing Investments SDSC, NCSA, PSC, CTC Supercomputer Centers | | | | | | 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010

  10. Domain-specific Cybertools (software) Shared Cybertools (software) Distributed Resources (computation, communicationstorage, etc.) Integrated CI Systemmeeting the needs of a community of communities • Applications • Environmental Science • High Energy Physics • Proteomics/Genomics • … DevelopmentTools & Libraries Education and Training Discovery & Innovation Grid Services & Middleware Hardware

  11. Cyberinfrastructureconsists of … • Computational engines (supercomputers, clusters, workstations, small processors, …) • Mass storage (disk drives, tapes, …) • Networking (including wireless, distributed, ubiquitous) • Digital libraries/data bases • Sensors/effectors • Software (operating systems, middleware, domain specific tools/platforms for building applications) • Services (education, training, consulting, user assistance) All working together in an integrated fashion.

  12. In Ten Years, CI will be… • rich in resources, comprehensive in functionality, and ubiquitous; • easily usable by all scientists and engineers, from students to emertii; • accessible anywhere, anytime needed by authenticated users; • interoperable, extendable, flexible, tailorable, and robust; • funded by multiple agencies, states, campuses, and organizations; • supported and utilized by educational programs at all levels.

  13. Technical Challenges • Computer Science and Engineering broadly • How to build the components? • Networks, processors, storage devices, sensors, software • How to shape the technical architecture? • Pervasive, many cyberinfrastructures, constantly evolving/changing capabilities • How to customize CI to particular S&E domains

  14. Cyberinfrastructure Early Adopters • Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) • National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) • Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN) • Extensible Terascale Facility (ETF)

  15. TeraGrid (ETF) Configuration

  16. Extensible Terascale Facility

  17. 100 Mpbs to 100 Million Homes • NSF Funded Research Project (10/03) - $7.5M • Stanford, Berkeley, CMU, Rice, Fraser Research, Internet2 • Scope • Economics • Technologies (Backbone and Access) • Protocols • Requires a redesign of the access, metropolitan and backbone networks of the Internet • Applications?

  18. Scaling – Homes TODAY 500Kbps X 10 million homes | | *200 | *10 | | | FUTURE 100Mbps X 100 million homes • Scale by a factor of 2000! • 1 million homes connected at 100Mbps == 100Tbps!! • At the network core petabits per second are required
