  1. Cyberinfrastructure and Internet2 Eric BoydDeputy Technology Officer Internet2

  2. What is Cyberinfrastructure (CI)? • A strategic orientation supported by NSF • Calls for large-scale public investment to encourage the evolution of widely distributed computing via the telecommunications network • Goal is to deploy the combined capacity of multiple sites to support the advance of current research, initially in science and engineering

  5. Challenge and Opportunity • Challenge: • The R&E community thinks of CI primarily in terms of building distributed computing clusters • Opportunity: • The network is a key component of CI • Internet2 is leading the development of solutions for the network component of CI

  6. LHC epitomizes the CI Challenge

  7. Current Situation Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN will go operational in 2008 Over 68 U.S. Universities and National Laboratories are poised to receive data More than 1500 scientists are waiting for this data Are campus, regional, and national networks ready for the task? 7

  8. Local Infrastructure US Tier 4 (1500 US scientists) Scientists Analyze Data US Tier 3 (68 orgs) Scientists Request Data Internet2/Connectors Internet2/Connectors Atlas (6-7) CMS (7) US Tier 2(15 orgs) Provides Data to Tier 3 GEANT-ESNet-Internet2 Tier 1(12 orgs) FNAL BNL Shared Data Storage and Reduction LHCOPN CERN Tier 0 Raw Data 8

  9. Peak Flow Network Requirements Local Infrastructure Tier 1 or 2 to Tier 3: Estimate: Requires 1.6 Gbps per transfer (2 TB's in 3 hours) Internet2/Connectors Internet2/Connectors Tier 1 to Tier 2: Requires 10-20 Gbps GEANT-ESNet-Internet2 Tier 0 to Tier1: Requires 10-40 Gbps LHCOPN CERN 9

Network Cyberinfrastructure Performance Infrastructure / Tools Middleware Control Plane Measurement Nodes Network Control Plane Nodes

  14. Internet2 Network CI Software • Dynamic Circuit Control Infrastructure • DRAGON (with ISI, MAX) • Oscars (with ESnet) • Middleware (Federated trust Infrastructure) • Shibboleth • Signet • Grouper • Comanage • Performance Monitoring Infrastructure • perfSONAR (with ESnet, GEANT2 JRA1, RNP, many others) • BWCTL, NDT, OWAMP, Thrulay • Distributed System Infrastructure • Topology Service (with University of Delaware) • Distributed Lookup Service (with University of Delaware, PSNC)

  15. Internet2 Network CI Standardization • Dynamic Circuit Control Protocol (IDC) • DICE-Control, GLIF • Measurement Schema / Protocol • OGF NMWG • IETF IPPM • perfSONAR Consortium • Middleware Arena • Liberty Alliance • OASIS • Possible emerging corporate consortium • Topology Schema / Protocol • OGF NML-WG • perfSONAR Consortium • DICE-Control

  16. Internet2’s CI Vision • Internet2’s CI vision: • Be a networking cyber-service provider • Be a trust cyber-service provider • Be a CI technology developer.

  17. Internet2’s CI Position • Internet2’s position: • Backbone network provider • Federated trust infrastructure provider • Forum for collaboration by members of the R&E community • Gives Internet2 a unique vision and strategy for Cyberinfrastructure.

  18. Internet2’s CI Constituencies • Collaborators • University Members • Regional Networks • Regional CI Organizations • High Performance Computing Centers • Federal Partners • International Partners • CI Integrators

  19. Early Thoughts: Internet2’s CI Strategy (1) • Requirements • Informed by our membership • Agenda set by our governance mechanisms • Offer, and in some cases develop, services and technology that are key components of a coherent CI software suite. • CI-enhanced Networks: IP Network, Dynamic Circuit Network • Services: InCommon, USHER • New Technologies: DCN software, perfSONAR, Shibboleth • Systems Integration: Assemble open source communication tools into a common veneer. • Emphasize a systems approach towards CI.

  20. Early Thoughts: Internet2’s CI Strategy (2) • Take a “toolkit” approach • Make sure it still looks like a wall jack to end user • Push for best practices for campuses • What to do • How to do it • Community learns as a whole / avoid reinventing the wheel • Contribute to the support structure for use of CI • Open source CI software • Centers of Excellence • Training

  21. Early Thoughts: Internet2’s CI Strategy (3) • Play the role of community CI coordinator, convening community conversations. • Partner with other community coordinators (e.g. Teragrid, EDUCAUSE). • Play a convening function in order to facilitate the development, use, and dissemination of CI • Take a lead in international outreach efforts • Facilitate conversations among various federal agencies (e.g. DOE, NSF, NIH), each of which is developing its own CI
