GLORIAD

GLORIAD

• GLORIAD is the first global high-speed network around the north hemisphere.

• GLORIAD is driven directly by the requirements from scientists and science applications in China, US and Russia.

• GLORIAD will not only serve for scientists of the three countries, but also become a platform for scientists across the world.

Introduction to GLORIAD

• Co-developed (and to-be-co-funded) by U.S., Russia, China, Korea

• Expanded capacity for science and education collaboration (10 Gbps)

• Grand“Global Ring” topology for reliability and advanced Internet applications

• Essential for supporting advanced S&E applications (particularly HEP, Astronomy, Atmospheric Sciences, Bioinformatics, optical network research, network security research)

GLORIAD Background

• 1998, US-Russia NaukaNet– Sponsored by Russian Min&Sci Org and U.S NSF– Bandwidth 6 M 45M155M (2003)– NaukaNet finished in Fall 2003

• Jan 2004, US-Russia-China, little GLORIAD (155-622M)

• July 2004, Korea (KISTI) joined

The 4 Layer GLORIAD Model

• Application Communities Scientists, educators, public organizations, students

• Collaboration Framework Middleware/grid tools, technologies tying together

networks, computers and communities

• Sculpted Network Platform Ethernet (layer 2) switching, IPv6 migration, Network

monitoring and management (scheduling, allocation) tools

• Lightwave/Lambda Ring Lambda-based network; optical switching

GLORIAD in Science Applications

• Focus– Sharing Scientific Data– Sharing Scientific Equipment– Cooperation on research projects– Improve research methods with digitalization,

Informatization• Most interesting areas

– High Energy Physics– Astronomy– Bioscience– Geo Science– Environment– Atmosphere

Milestones of GLORIAD

• 1993-2002.02: Both US and Russia, the partners of NaukaNet program, proposed that China, as a new strategic partner, join this program.

• 2002.07: National Science Foundation(NSF) contacted with CAS.

• 2002.10: CAS officially approved that CNIC, representing CAS, initiate this China-US-Russia Network program.

• 2002.12: US & Russia delegates visited CNIC, CAS. MoU was signed by 3 States

• 2003.02-12: A couple of video conferences about GLORIAD.• 2003.11: CNIC delegates visited US. A contract with Tyco

Telecommunication was signed.

Milestones of GLORIAD (cont’)

• 2004.01.12: China-US-Russia Network GLORIAD Grand Opening Ceremony held in Beijing.

• 2004.07: Korea (KISTI) joined GLORIAD.• 2004.11.23: HKIOEP (HKLight) announced by CNIC,CAS.• 2004.12: GLORIAD got NSF IRNC Award• 2004.12.26: HK-JP 1G link up• 2005.1.26: HK-TW 1G link up

Hong Kong Internet Open Exchange Point • Nov 23, 2004, the Beijing-Hong Kong section of the "China-

US-Russia Global Ring Network for Advanced Applications Development (GLORIAD)" has been upgraded to 2.5G

• On the same day, the Chinese Academy of Sciences formally announced a plan to establish the next generation light wave "Hong Kong Internet Open Exchange Point-HK Light“

• • HK Light is the first Open Exchange Point in Asia

• HK Light will serve as a venue with high-speed(proposed to be 10G) networks coming from Japan, South Korea and China Taiwan etc. Other States as Singapore, India and Australia are also very much interested in it.

Scientific Data Grid (SDG)

• Scientific Data Grid (SDG) is a typical project of CAS e-Science, also a pilot.

• SDG is built upon the mass scientific data resources of the Scientific Database (SDB).

• SDB is a long-term project since 1983, in which there are multi-disciplinary scientific data accumulated through the course of science activities in CAS.

• The vision of SDG is to take valuable data resources into full play by benefiting from advanced information technologies, in particular, the Grid technology.

Data Resources

• Scientific Database (SDB) – 45 institutions

across 16 cities– 313 databases– 8.2TB total

volume– Cover a lot of

disciplines• Chemistry,

Biology, Geosciences, Environment, Astronomy, High energy physics, …

SDG Platform

• Data Center– 59 nodes of DeepComp 6800– 20TB SAN Storage– TFLOPS-scale computing
