  10. Southern Light Rail • Southern Light Rail • Georgia Tech Non-profit • Participants: Georgia Tech, Georgia State U., Medical College of Georgia, U. of Georgia • Affiliates: Florida LambdaRail, U. of Virginia • Partnership with Southern Crossroads (SOX) GigaPOP to provide services to the research community • NLR access to: • Georgia Research Alliance Universities • Other Southern US universities & research centers • Force10 E1200 Switch/Router • Just installed at 56 Marietta, Atlanta, GA

  11. Southern Light Rail Switch Force10E1200 GT(Georgia Tech) FLR(Florida LambdaRail) UGA MATP(Mid-Atlantic Terascale Partnership) GSU(Georgia State U.) ORNL(Oak Ridge National Lab) 10GE GE

  12. Southern Light Rail Services • Broad range of services from: • optical lambdas • single or multi-Gigabit Ethernet channels • IPv4/v6 routed service. • By controlling the data service all the way down to the optical wavelength, SLR is able to provide dedicated network paths without the congestion and delay variations normally experienced in current IPv4-based networks. • The user's traffic can also be optically isolated from other network users, an important aspect for security sensitive applications.

  13. Penn State University HPC • Penn State University • Information Technology Services • Academic Services & Emerging Technologies • High Performance Computing (HPC) group • Newest Cluster: LION-XO • 80 Computing Nodes, to grow to 160 • 80 Opteron processor-based Sun Microsystems SunFire servers • Each with 8 Gigabits of random access memory (RAM) and 73 Gigabytes of Ultra SCSI disk storage. • Two interconnect switches: • Infinicon Systems Infiniband switch • Force10 E600 Gigabit Ethernet switch. • Ethernet Requirements • Non-blocking throughput • Scalability & High port density • High reliability

  14. Penn State University HPC Force10 E600 Features: • Fully distributed architecture that separates switching, routing and management functionalities • Protected memory and processing power for each function, ensures predictable performance even in the face of denial of service attacks • Built-in redundancy of all key components, including switch fabrics, power supplies and route processor modules • Hitless failover technology ensure that the E600 continues to forward traffic in the event of a failure with zero packet loss.

  15. UltraScience Net UltraScience Net On-Ramp • UltraScience Net • Building an extended-regional lambda-switching testbed • Dedicated fiber/optical infrastructure Atlanta to Chicago and across Tennessee. • 2 x 10 Gig – extended from Chicago to Seattle to Sunnyvale • Connect to NLR in Atlanta and Chicago • Provide an evolving matrix of switching capabilities • Separately fund research projects (e.g., high-performance protocols, control, visualization) that will exercise the network and directly support applications at the host institutions • Force10 E300’s – Bridge on & off UltraScience Net. • 10 GE WAN PHY to 10 GE LAN PHY
