4. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation 4 Accomplishments 1: Advancing GENI Spiral 2 Goals Integration –Integrated CRON resources with ProtoGENI resources Interoperability –CRON aggregate manager has been based on the ProtoGENI aggregate manager which supports interoperability among different control frameworks Establishing a GENI measurement architecture –PIs have discussed about the collaboration with GENI measurement teams, such as OnTimeMeasure from Ohio supercomputing center and perfSONAR from Univ. Delaware in order to embed those works into CRON testbed. Openflow switch –PIs purchased 1Gbps NetFPGA and are installing Openflow switch at CRON testbed to support experimentations with Openflow switches. And they plan to extend the testbed with 10Gbps NetFPGA and Openflow switch at the end of 2010 when the boards are available. August 30, 2010

5. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation 5 Issues Regarding preparing integration tests among different federation sites, –Now each federation project seems to have an individual communication to other projects to prepare federated tests in an ad-hoc way. It would be better to start to coordinate the federated tests among all federated projects together. August 30, 2010

6. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation 6 Plans What are your plans for the remainder of Spiral 2? –Integration of CRON into other GENI control frameworks with common aggregate manages –Experimentations with GENI control frameworks over Internet2 –Installation of Openflow switch over 10Gbps NetFGPA boards into CRON testbed –Installation of other instrumentation and measurement projects into CRON testbed.
