PlanetLab and PLFEDSpiral 2 Year-end Project Review Princeton University PI: Larry Peterson Staff: Andy Bavier, Tony MackStudents: SonerSevinc August 26, 2010
Project Summary • PlanetLab: Prototyping and Validating the GENI Control Framework • Create and deploy Clearinghouse, Aggregate Manager, and Component Manager packages • Make available reference implementations of the above packages • Operate a prototype Clearinghouse • Provide limited development and integration support to GENI developers using our code • Provide GENI users with access to PlanetLab • PLFED: Understanding Federation • Integrate PlanetLab (PLC), PlanetLab Europe (PLE), PlanetLab Japan (PLJ), and other testbeds into an international federated research infrastructure • Identify and resolve the policy issues that arise when autonomous organizations federate their networks August 26, 2010

Accomplishments 1: Advancing GENI Spiral 2 Goals • Continuous experimentation • The PlanetLab community consists of thousands of researchers worldwide. Our development work on the SFA, SFI command-line tool, and SFI GUI has exposed GENI resources to this community. • We continue to improve performance, robustness, and ease-of-use. • We added functionality to support user-level functions (e.g., Raven) • Integration • We have supported the integration of a number of aggregates into the PlanetLab control framework, including GpENI and VINI. • Interoperability • We have worked closely with Utah and the GPO to reconcile the PlanetLab and ProtoGENI control frameworks. This new version of the SFA will be deployed throughout the PlanetLab federation by GEC9. August 26, 2010
Accomplishments 2:Other Project Accomplishments • Hosted NSF Federation workshop at Princeton • Supported GENI Experimentation workshop led by Jen Rexford August 26, 2010
Issues • Establishing peering policies so all GENI users can have access to PlanetLab resources. August 26, 2010
Plans • What are you plans for the remainder of Spiral 2? • Test and deploy the reconciled SFA on the public PlanetLab federation. • Refactor the SFI GUI as a Javascript Web client and a server-side Apache module. • Preliminary integration of Web GUI for the SFA into the main PlanetLab web site. • The GPO is starting to formulate goals for Spiral 3. What are your thoughts regarding potential Spiral 3 work? • Full-featured Web GUI integrated into the PlanetLab web site (i.e., PlanetLab as clearinghouse) • Expand our ability to support clusters: • We are members of the HP-led InstaGENI proposal. Our task will be to streamline the process of bringing up an InstaGENI rack as a GENI Aggregate. • We will be launching the VICCI project (1024-core clusters at 7 sites world-wide) and will provide access via the SFA.
