1. Christopher P. Paolinipaolini@engineering.sdsu.edu • Implementation of a Science DMZ at San Diego State University • Facilitate high-performance data transfer for scientific applications • Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 10K (core device) • Two Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6900s (satellite devices) • Dedicated and independent 10GE uplink to Internet2 and ESnet via CENIC • Optimized network for high-volume bulk transfer of scientific datasets • Unencumbered, high-speed access to online scientific applications and data generated at SDSU • External access to science resources not impacted by regular “enterprise” or business class Internet traffic • Focus on “BigData” Intensive Science: earthquake rupture and wave propagation, parallel 3D unified curvilinear coastal ocean modeling, geologic sequestration simulation of supercritical CO2, large-scale proteomic data, bioinformatics of gene promoter analysis, microbial metagenomics, and high-order PSIC methods for simulation of pulse detonation engines • Network performance measurement based on the PerfSONARframework • InCommon Federation global federated system for identity management and authentication to DMZ connected hosts and services

2. Science DMZ Infrastructure • Alcatel-Lucent 10 and 40 Gbps switching devices, per CSU policy • DMZ spans four campus buildings: Administration, Life Sciences (CSRC Data Center), Education & Business Administration (UCO Data Center), and Chemical Sciences (VizCenter) • Primary users: CSRC affiliated faculty and students • AL OmniVista 2500 for network management • HPR connection purchased on 1/2, all AL equipment scheduled for 1/14

3. Computational Science Network (CSRCnet) • Existing computational science network will connect to the DMZ • Funded in 2009 through NSF MRI award 0922702 • 8 Cisco 10 Gbps Catalyst 4900M switching devices • CSRCnet spans five campus buildings: Administration, Life Sciences (CSRC Data Center), Education & Business Administration (UCO Data Center), Physics, and Engineering • Sole users: CSRC affiliated faculty and students • 10G access to SDSC

4. GENI Planning and Integration • Primary campus IT faculty/staff for SDN/GENI: • Current and planned SDN/GENI-related research and researchers: • Christopher Paolini and MahaswetaSarkar: Development of new MAC schemes that provide QoS constraints through contention and contention-free channel access for different traffic classes and use a Nash bargaining solution to ensure Pareto-optimality • Christopher Paolini and Jose Castillo: Development of new transport layer protocols that use compressed sensing techniques to perform sparse sampling on streaming petabytesized datasets originating from remote electronic structure, molecular dynamics, curvilinear coastal ocean modeling, and earthquake rupture and wave propagation simulations • Christopher Paolini: Development of a new Alcatel-Lucent SDN/Application Fluent Network based protocol for the OS10K that bridges Lustre RDMA traffic between 40GE and 4xQDR IB
