2. Chicago/National/International OptIPuter Infrastructure OptIPuter Chicago Infrastructure Goals Provide OptIPuter Dynamic Network Resources –In Chicago, 30Gb between EVL, StarLight and NU –20Gb between StarLight and San Diego –Engage groups in Canada, Europe, and Asia (e.g., last week) Support OptIPuter Protocol Development with –Clusters with 1GE and 10GE NICS on each dual-processor PC –Switches at EVL and StarLight enabling vLANs and LightPaths Support OptIPuter Applications Development –By Procuring, Building, and Connecting OptIPuters Prototype “Next Generation” Technology and Techniques –30 Dual 64-bit Opterons, 100 Megapixel screen and 60 TB of Disk at EVL –Varrier Automatic Stereo and PARIS Haptic Integration with OptIPuter

5. Chicago/National/International OptIPuter Infrastructure Year Two Accomplishments: Towards Regional-Scale and National/International-Scale OptIPuters UIC Installed a large E1200 Force10 10GE Electronic Switch and a 128x128 Calient Optical Switch at StarLight –Connecting GE and 10GE Metro, Regional, National and International Research Networks and Lightpaths The Metro-Scale OptIPuter has been achieved: –Clusters at StarLight Connected via GEs over I-WIRE to Clusters at EVL –DOT (Distributed Optical Testbed) at NU Connected via GEs over OMNInet The National-Scale OptIPuter has been planned: –Agreed to Connect SoCal to Chicago via Pacific Wave, NLR, and CA*net4 –A Terabyte RAID was Tested at UIC then Installed at StarLight for SIO data International-scale OptIPuter has been achieved: –UvAmsterdam Installed a 64x64 Calient Switch at NetherLight –UIC Installed a 64x64 Glimmerglass Switch at EVL –Connected Lightpaths Through the 128x128 Calient Switch at StarLight –Demonstrated at SC’03 in Phoenix and here today –Vol-a-Tile, JuxtaView, PIN/PDC/ODIN/AAA research

8. Chicago/National/International OptIPuter Infrastructure OptIPuter Chicago Year Three Plans: National- and International-Scale OptIPuters The Metro-Scale OptIPuter will be expanded: –30 Dual-Processor Opteron Cluster with 55 LCD Screens, 60TB Disk, 30 GE NICs –30 10GE NICs will be procured and switched through the Glimmerglass –I-WIRE 10GE Wave to StarLight from EVL The National-Scale OptIPuter: –10Gb Wavelength between SoCal and Chicago –8x1GE over CA*net4 (NYC/Chicago/Seattle) via User-Controlled Light Paths (UCLP) –Create Demand as NLR Comes Up—Scientists will see OptIPuter Deployments –12TB RAID Storage and Clusters installed at StarLight based on SIO, USGS needs International-Scale OptIPuter Experiments will be Continued via GLIF: –NSF Euro-Link/TransLight OC-192 has 4 GEs Available for OptIPuter –Dutch OC-192 to Chicago makes 10GE Available to Chicago (and beyond) now –Clear Intent of Japanese Gigabit Network-II and UKLight to partner with OptIPuter –Upgrading the Force10 Electronic Switch to 16x10GE + 96x1GE No OptIPuter $$ for Equipment; Leveraged RI, RR, MRI Equipment Grants OptIPuter RA, Staff, Faculty Funding used to Implement, Test, Deploy
