  2. Why Optical NetworksWill Become the 21st Century Driver Optical Fiber (bits per second) (Doubling time 9 Months) Data Storage (bits per square inch) (Doubling time 12 Months) Silicon Computer Chips (Number of Transistors) (Doubling time 18 Months) Performance per Dollar Spent 0 1 2 3 4 5 Number of Years Scientific American, January 2001

  3. The OptIPuter Project – Removing Bandwidth as an Obstacle In Data Intensive Sciences • NSF Large Information Technology Research Proposal • UCSD and UIC Lead Campuses—Larry Smarr PI • USC, UCI, SDSU, NW, TA&M Partnering Campuses • Industrial Partners: IBM, Sun, Telcordia/SAIC, Chiaro, Calient • $13.5 Million Over Five Years • Optical IP Streams From Lab Clusters to Large Data Objects NIH Biomedical Informatics Research Network NSF EarthScope http://ncmir.ucsd.edu/gallery.html siovizcenter.ucsd.edu/library/gallery/shoot1/index.shtml

  4. Application Barrier One:Gigabyte Data Objects Need Interactive Visualization • Montages--Hundred-Million Pixel 2-D Images • Microscopy or Telescopes • Remote Sensing • GigaZone 3-D Objects • Seismic or Medical Imaging • Supercomputer Simulations • Interactive Analysis and Visualization of Such High Resolution Data Objects Requires: • Scalable Visualization Displays • Montage and Volumetric Visualization Software • UIC EVL’s JuxtaView and Vol-a-Tile

  5. OptIPuter Project Goal:Scaling to 100 Million Pixels • JuxtaView (UIC EVL) on PerspecTile LCD Wall • Digital Montage Viewer • 8000x3600 Pixel Resolution~30M Pixels • Display Is Powered By • 16 PCs with Graphics Cards • 2 Gigabit Networking per PC NCMIR – Brain Microscopy (2800x4000 24 layers) Source: Jason Leigh, EVL, UIC; USGS EROS

  6. Application Barrier Two:Campus Grid Infrastructure is Inadequate • Campus Infrastructure is Designed for Web Objects • Being Swamped by Sharing of Digital Multimedia Objects • Little Strategic Thinking About Needs of Data Researchers • Challenge of Matching Storage to Bandwidth • Need To Ingest And Feed Data At Multi-Gbps • Scaling to Enormous Capacity • Use Standards-Based Commodity Clusters (Rocks) • OptIPuter Aims at Prototyping a National Architecture • Federated National and Global Data Repositories • Lambdas on Demand • Campus Laboratories Using Clusters with TeraBuckets • Campus Eventually with a Shared PetaCache

  7. OptIPuter 2004 @ UCSDCoupling Linux Clusters with High Resolution Visualization

  8. OptIPuter is Studying the Best Application Usagefor Both Routed vs. Switched Lambdas • OptIPuter Evaluating Both: • Routers • Chiaro, Juniper, Cisco, Force10 • Optical Switches • Calient, Glimmerglass • Lightpath Accelerators • BigBandWidth • UCSD Focusing on Routing Initially • UIC Focusing on Switching Initially • Next Year Merge into Mixed Optical Fabric Chiaro Estara Glimmerglass

  9. Application Barrier Three:Shared Internet Makes Interactive Gigabyte Impossible • NASA Earth Observation System • Over 100,000 Users Pull Data from Federated Repositories • Two Million Data Products Delivered per Year • 10-50 Mbps (May 2003) Throughput to Campuses • Typically Over Abilene From Goddard, Langley, or EROS • Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN) • Between UCSD and Boston • Similar Story • Lots of Specialized Networking Tuning Used • 50-80 Mbps • Remote Interactive Megabyte is Possible • But Interactive Gigabyte is Impossible IP over Lambdas with Alternate Protocols
