3 GENI, JGN-X, FIRE, and the Emergence of the Intercloud The Internet was about the seamless movement of data… Internet protocols were fundamentally centered around transfer of bulk data ftp, http, voip,… Fundamental to the design of TCP Later, localized services offered over the wide area The Intercloud will be about the seamless movement of computation Design and development of protocols, security procedures, architectures, economic models that permit computation to move to data, rather than the other way around GENI, FIRE, JGN-X are all early stabs at this…(more later) 3

Adaptive, Virtualizable Network Currently, networking is application-agnostic (TCP is TCP….) Need to permit application to allocate network resources just as it now allocates storage, compute resources Guarantee QoS for high-priority flows, make transmission speeds latency- and loss- independent, virtual networks with admission control… 4

Large and active community Characterized by large data sets (mostly satellite images) Much open-source easily deployable software, standard data formats Computation naturally partitions and is loosely-coupled Collaborations across geographic regions and continents Very pretty… 8
