A deep debt of gratitude Thank you, thank you, thank you Debbie Crawford Ty Znati The GENI community owes you a deep debt of gratitudefor your government service within NSF We tremendously appreciate everything you have done to help advance the GENI community and at-scale experimentation in the United States Now you can rest a little bit, but please don’t disappear!
Spiral DevelopmentGENI grows through a well-structured, adaptive process • GENI Spiral 2Early experiments, meso-scale build, interoperable control frameworks, ongoing integration, system designs for security and instrumentation, definition of identity management plans. • Envisioned ultimate goalExample: Planning Group’s desired GENI suite, probably trimmed some ways and expanded others. Incorporates large-scale distributed computing resources, high-speed backbone nodes, nationwide optical networks, wireless & sensor nets, etc. • Spiral Development ProcessRe-evaluate goals and technologies yearly by a systematic process, decide what to prototype and build next. Planning Design Use Use Integration Build out GENI Prototyping Plan
Meso-scale buildout in Spiral 2“GENI-enabled” US campuses and backbones
Enhancing the buildout in Spiral 3Solicitation 3 deadline – August 20, 2010
Control framework interoperabilityvia the GENI Aggregate Manager API 1.0 Spiral 1: tightly coupled Now: open & interoperable Control frameworks / Clearinghouses Control frameworks / Clearinghouses Aggregates Aggregates Each aggregate was tightlylinked to exactly one clusterand control framework “GENI AM API” lets you mix and match aggregates with control frameworks PlanetLab, ProtoGENI, OpenFlow are now interoperable – more to follow
GENI Alpha Demonstrations • Major demos planned for GEC 9 • Many in this room are creating Alpha demos • They’re being shaken down across the national backbones, various campuses, and GPO lab • Many were demo’d last night • Those “ready for prime time” will be featured prominently at GEC 9 • Audience will include industry & government leaders • GENI Alpha Demonstrations will highlight: • meso-scale experimentation • diversity of research infrastructure • interoperable GENI control frameworks Campus involvement will be showcased – please help!
Experiment resource pool Modest collection of PlanetLab, ProtoGENI, OpenFlow, etc. Open to GENI researchers Relatively stable News - GPO Lab is running • Shakedown point for meso-scale build • “Another end” for campus integrations • Accessible via I2, NLR, IP tunnels • Note: staff is stretched rather thin!
Instrumentation and measurementArchitecture taking shape, implementations solicited 2nd I&M Workshop, June 2010
Experiments ! • Shakedown experiments in progress • “The brave pioneers” • News: GENI Experimenters Workshop • Co-chaired by Guru Parulkar and Jennifer Rexford • Held at Princeton, June 29-30 • 54 researchers participated (pairs of prof + student) • Dozens of quick-turn proposals submitted to NSF • Likely outcome: excellent experimental research starts ramping up in late summer / early fall
A lively and interesting mixGENI Tutorials and Workshops • Yesterday morning (Tuesday) • Ilia Baldine, Resource Representations in GENI • Nick Feamster, BGPmux tutorial • Justin Cappos, Seattle GENI tutorial • Rob Ricci, ProtoGENI tutorial • Tomorrow afternoon (Thursday) • Brandon Heller, OpenFlow tutorial • Jon Turner, SPP tutorial • Steve Schwab, ABAC mini-workshop Want to give a tutorial? What are we missing?
Starting early operations • Campus / OMIS Working Group discussions • Emergency stop (2nd draft document) • Campus requirements (1st draft document) • Security-related issues • Other plans in the works • Concept of federated GENI operations
Looking forward to Spiral 3 • Annual reviews this summer • Some trimming & retasking may occur • GENI’s general outline is becoming clearer • Think about how you might want to reorient your work • Major trends in Spiral 3 • Rising number of liveresearch experiments • Rapidly growing meso-scale build-out • Gradual transition to reliable operations • Continued creation & integration of tool sets
GENI Solicitation 3 Deadline – August 20, 2010 • Solicitation areas • Aggressively grow meso-scale build • More regional & backbone sites • New “GENI Racks” (eg rack of PCs with GENI-enabled switch) • GENI Instrumentation system (build & deploy) • Operations / experiment support / training / education & curriculum development Want to join a team?? http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/Solicitation3FocusPoints Suggestion: talk with us before writing your proposal!
