OptIPuter Frontier Advisory BoardDiscussion & Recommendations
First Presented: January 16, 2004
Progress to Date: January 28, 2005
Franz BirknerFXB Ventures, SD Telecom Council
OptIPuter – The Tasks Ahead
• Refine architecture and define capabilities
• Integrate efforts across teams
• Demonstrate two applications this year
• Propagate the OptIPuter message & build the community
Refine OptIPuter Architecture and Define Capabilities
• Consistent vision from abstraction to implementation
• Define expected set of services
• Refine OptIPuter node definition
• Vision: an environment designed for high performance science enabled by intelligent light paths
Integrate Efforts Across Teams
• Applications, Visualization, System Software, Optical Networking, Data Networking
• San Diego, Chicago, Amsterdam, etc.
• Develop common vision of services and testbed
• Designate/hire OptIPuter Test Bed Project Manager
Demonstrate Two Apps This Year
• Simple but powerful end-to-end systems– From data generators: S/C clusters or storage– To refined tile display
• Prove OptIPuter concept, stress system, test key assumptions
• Examples:– From electron microscope in Tokyo to display in
SD– From cluster/storage in Chicago to Amsterdam
Propagate the OptIPuter Message and Grow the Community of Users
• OptIPuter vision: an environment designed for high performance science enabled by intelligent light paths
• Must develop a consistent, powerful message
• Users buy/build OptIPuter nodes to join our community
• Make the OptIPuter ‘self propagating’
OptIPuter Progress Vs FAB RecommendationsJan 16 ‘04 to Jan 28 ‘05
• Overall excellent progress on architecture, integration, applications and message
• Objectives look good for another year
• Opportunities always exist:– To improve– To leverage external events
OptIPuter - Improvement Opps
• Architecture – Define firm test bed spec for new users– Allow test of their apps, communication with
partners– Implement version control
• Integrate teams – Designate OptIPuter test bed project manager
OptIPuter - Improvement Opps
• Applications– Demo of DVC with NCMIR data using
JuxtaView a great start– Need second demo – DVC for assimilation of
SIO data, or monitor gigabit instrumentation feeds, or?
– Define classes of apps for which OptIPuter is solution
• Collaboration– Need advance beyond Polycom demo
OptIPuter - Leverage External Events
• National LambdaRail and Global Lambda Integrated Facility instantiation– Unprecedented global fiber transport services– Ideal fit to OptIPuter capabilities/objectives
• iGRID 2005 Sept 26-30– Milestone opportunity to demonstrate and
propagate OptIPuter capabilities– Ideal forum to initiative broad new collaborations
