8. The Center of the Network

9. Status as of about 15 minutes ago The hardest thing in networking – getting fiber in the ground and terminated –4 pair single mode fiber per site –Fiber terminated Monday (3 days ago) – fiber “polishing” still ongoing –First light/first packet yesterday (wed) at about 6pm –Ran linpack at about 6:05pm Currently two sites are connected –Linux Cluster at each site as a baseline. Sizes/capability/architecture vary as needed (and $$) change. –4 x 1 gigE @ CSC –4 x 1 gigE @ SDSC Chiaro –Serial #1 production router. “Tiny size”: –One redundant pair of optical cores – 640 gigabits. Can grow to 6+ Terabits –We have alpha/beta gigE blades from Chiaro –OptIPuter getting these 3 – 4 months ahead of schedule –Chose multiple gigE striped physically because –Cost at the site end –Start parallel –From the endpoint view – Chiaro works just like a standard router.

10. Netperf Numbers (data at first light) 2 streams  more than 1 gigabit (aggregate)

11. Linpack Numbers 4 processor Linpack –Run through local copper gigE switch –Run through Chiaro Router
