  1. Global Lambda Integrated Facility (GLIF)4th Annual Global LambdaGrid WorkshopNottingham, UK, September 2-3, 2004 PRAGMA Presentation, September 16, 2004 Maxine D.

  2. What is GLIF? • GLIF is a consortium of institutions, organizations, consortia and country National Research & Education Networks who voluntarily share optical networking resources and expertise to develop the Global LambdaGrid for the advancement of scientific collaboration and discovery • GLIF is under the leadership of SURFnet and University of Amsterdam in The Netherlands. • www.glif.is

  3. What is the LambdaGrid? • Today’s Grids enable scientists to schedule computer resources and remote instrumentation over today’s “best effort” networks. • LambdaGrids enable scientists to also schedule bandwidth. Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology divides white light into individual wavelengths (or “lambdas”) on optical fiber, creating parallel networks. • LambdaGrids provide deterministic networks with known and knowable characteristics. • Guaranteed Bandwidth (data movement) • Guaranteed Latency (collaboration, visualization, data analysis) • Guaranteed Scheduling (remote instruments)

  8. Why a Global LambdaGrid?Three Types of Users A. Lightweight users, browsing, mailing, home use – Need full Internet routing, one to many B. Business applications, multicast, streaming, VPNs, mostly LAN – Need VPN services and full Internet routing, several to several + uplink C. Special scientific applications, computing, data grids, virtual presence – Need very fat pipes, limited multiple virtual organizations, few to few # u s e r s SC >> 100 Gb/s SB ≈ 40 Gb/s A SA ≈ 20 Gb/s C B GigE ADSL BW requirements Courtesy of Cees de Laat, Univ of Amsterdam

  9. Why GLIF?Motivations • Scientific: All science is global. • Political: A neutral forum in which to collaborate with colleagues worldwide to build a production quality Global LambdaGrid in support of e-science experiments. • Economic: As the cost of transoceanic bandwidth continues to become more affordable, National Research Networks have additional capacity they are willing to make available for use by application scientists, computer scientists and engineers. • Technical: Need to interconnect and interoperate production quality infrastructure for scientific experiments.

  10. GLIF History • Invitation-only annual meetings to discuss optical networking and the Global LambdaGrid. • 2001 in Amsterdam, hosted by the Trans-European Research and Education Networking Association (TERENA, Europe) • 2002 in Amsterdam, hosted by the Amsterdam Science and Technology Centre • 2003 in Reykjavik, Iceland, hosted by NORDUnet • 2004 in Nottingham, UK, hosted by UKERNA 2002

  11. GLIF History • In 2003, named GLIF, a virtual facility in support of persistent data-intensive scientific research and middleware development on LambdaGrids 2003

  12. GLIF 2004: 60 World Leaders in Advanced Networking and the Scientists Who Need It • Chaired by Kees Neggers, managing director of SURFnet in the Netherlands • Hosted by UKERNA, the United Kingdom’s research and education network • Organized by Cees de Laat of University of Amsterdam and Maxine Brown of University of Illinois at Chicago. • Network leadership – managers and chief engineers of national research and education networks, countries, consortia and institutions. • Representatives from network vendor R&D labs (Cisco, Nortel, Ciena, NTT) • Application Scientists

  14. GLIF 2004 Who’s Who • Australia’s Research and Education Network (AARNet) • CANARIE (Canada) • CERN • CESNET (Czech Republic) • Chinese Academy of Science • DANTE/GÉANT (Europe) • European Commission • HEAnet (Ireland) • Japanese Gigabit Network 2 (JGN-II) • Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI)/KREONet2 • National Center for High Performance Computing (NCHC, Taiwan) • National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST, Japan)

  15. GLIF 2004 Who’s Who • NORDUnet (Nordic countries) • SURFnet/NetherLight (The Netherlands) • Trans-European Research and Education Networking Association (TERENA, Europe) • UK Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) • UKERNA/UKLight (United Kingdom) • WIDE (Japan) • USA • National LambdaRail, Internet2, DoE ESnet, TeraGrid, Illinois’ I-WIRE initiative, California’s CENIC network, NSF StarLight, NSF High Performance International Internet Services awardees (Euro-Link, TransPAC, GLORIAD and AMPATH), major GigaPoPs (PNWGP and Pacific Wave, MREN, MAX) the Internet Educational Equal Access Foundation (IEEAF), and major universities and government laboratories.

  16. GLIF Working Groups • Governance: To create an open, neutral community for anyone who wants to contribute resources and/or services (bandwidth, software, application drivers), to build the Global LambdaGrid • Engineering: To define the types of links and the minimum/maximum configurations of Optical Exchange facilities in order to assure the interoperability and interconnectivity of participating networks • Applications: To enable the super-users providing the application drivers; to find new e-science drivers; and, to move scientific experiments into production usage as they mature, and to document these advancements • Control Plane and Grid Integration Middleware (proposed): To agree on the interfaces and protocols for lambda provisioning and management

  17. GLIF Governance Working GroupKees Neggers, Chair • Mission Statement: To create and sustain a Global Facility supporting leading-edge capabilities that enable high-performance applications and services, especially those based on new and emerging technologies and paradigms related to advanced optical networking. • Purpose: GLIF provides leadership in advanced technologies and services on behalf of National Research & Education Networks (NRENs), creating new models that they can implement.

  18. GLIF 2003 GLIF Engineering Working GroupErik-Jan Bos, Chair • What does it mean to connect to GLIF? What does it mean to bring equipment to GLIF? • Creating an international network map of participant resources (links, equipment) • Optical Exchange facility equipment and service configurations • Develop a GLIF Best Current Practices document to assure the interoperability and interconnectivity of participating networks • Understand application requirements for SC 2004 and iGrid 2005

  19. GLIF Applications Working GroupPeter Clarke, Chair • Document advanced applications that use optical network infrastructure(s), to educate other scientists as well as funding agencies. • What was enabled that could not have been done on a production network? • Were the results useful? • We know the super-users (to be at SC 2004) – but to grow the GLIF community we need to find new e-science drivers for iGrid 2005. • We need to move scientific experiments into production usage as they begin to mature .

  20. Control Plane and Grid Integration Middleware Working Group (proposed) • GLIF can only function if participants agree on the interfaces and protocols that talk to each other on the control plane of the contributed Lambda resources. • GLIF applies standards from IETF, GGF, etc., and develops what is missing. (GLIF does not duplicate efforts; it enhances existing efforts.) • The main players already meet regularly in conjunction with other projects • NSF OptIPuter • Joe Mambretti <j-mambretti@northwestern.edu> • MCNC Controlplane • Gigi Karmous-Edwards <gigi@anr.mcnc.org>
