  1. OptIPuter Frontier Advisory BoardDiscussion & Recommendations First Presented: January 16, 2004 Progress to Date: January 28, 2005 Franz Birkner FXB Ventures, SD Telecom Council

  2. OptIPuter – The Tasks Ahead • Refine architecture and define capabilities • Integrate efforts across teams • Demonstrate two applications this year • Propagate the OptIPuter message & build the community

  3. Refine OptIPuter Architecture and Define Capabilities • Consistent vision from abstraction to implementation • Define expected set of services • Refine OptIPuter node definition • Vision: an environment designed for high performance science enabled by intelligent light paths

  4. Integrate Efforts Across Teams • Applications, Visualization, System Software, Optical Networking, Data Networking • San Diego, Chicago, Amsterdam, etc. • Develop common vision of services and testbed • Designate/hire OptIPuter Test Bed Project Manager

  5. Demonstrate Two Apps This Year • Simple but powerful end-to-end systems • From data generators: S/C clusters or storage • To refined tile display • Prove OptIPuter concept, stress system, test key assumptions • Examples: • From electron microscope in Tokyo to display in SD • From cluster/storage in Chicago to Amsterdam

  6. Propagate the OptIPuter Message and Grow the Community of Users • OptIPuter vision: an environment designed for high performance science enabled by intelligent light paths • Must develop a consistent, powerful message • Users buy/build OptIPuter nodes to join our community • Make the OptIPuter ‘self propagating’

  7. OptIPuter Progress Vs FAB RecommendationsJan 16 ‘04 to Jan 28 ‘05 • Overall excellent progress on architecture, integration, applications and message • Objectives look good for another year • Opportunities always exist: • To improve • To leverage external events

  8. OptIPuter - Improvement Opps • Architecture – Define firm test bed spec for new users • Allow test of their apps, communication with partners • Implement version control • Integrate teams – Designate OptIPuter test bed project manager

  9. OptIPuter - Improvement Opps • Applications • Demo of DVC with NCMIR data using JuxtaView a great start • Need second demo – DVC for assimilation of SIO data, or monitor gigabit instrumentation feeds, or? • Define classes of apps for which OptIPuter is solution • Collaboration • Need advance beyond Polycom demo

  10. OptIPuter - Leverage External Events • National LambdaRail and Global Lambda Integrated Facility instantiation • Unprecedented global fiber transport services • Ideal fit to OptIPuter capabilities/objectives • iGRID 2005 Sept 26-30 • Milestone opportunity to demonstrate and propagate OptIPuter capabilities • Ideal forum to initiative broad new collaborations
