  1. Southern California Infrastructure Philip Papadopoulos Greg Hidley

  2. UCSD Packet Test BedOptIPuter Year 2

  3. Goals • Expand our Campus-wide Research Instrument • Support of Researcher Needs – Focus on Application Needs • Deployment of Scalable Endpoints • Continued Evolution of the Packet-Based OptIPuter • Begin Deployment of 10 GigE Technologies • Drive Towards Goal of 1:1 Bisection Bandwidth • 5:1 For This Year • Evaluation of Parallel Storage Systems with Remote Access • Expand the UCSD-based OptIPuter from Campus-only to Southern California and Eventually to Chicago

  4. Year 2 Accomplishments • Staffing • Hired UCSD Optiputer Project Manager Aaron Chin • Additional 1.5 FTE Effort Towards Infrastructure Deployment: • Max Okumoto, Sean O’Connell, David Hutches, Mason Katz • Node Buildout • 48 Node (IA-32), 21 TB (300 Spindles) IBM Storage Cluster (JSOE) • 128 Node (IA-32) Sun Compute Cluster (SDSC) • 22 Node (Opteron) Sun Viz Cluster (SOM) Geowall2 • 3 Node (IA-32) Shuttle Viz Cluster (CRCA) Display Wall • Expected By 10/1/04 • 3 Sun (Opteron) Clusters, Size to be Determined • Network Buildout • 1 Gigabit Transport • Connectivity To Campus VLAN Infrastructure And Border Router (T320) • 10 Gigabit Transport • Single Interface for Chiaro • Extreme 400 (48 Port Gige with two 10gige Uplinks) Layer 2 Fabric • 1 Each at JSOE, CSE and SDSC • 5:1 Bisection for the Storage Cluster

  5. Making The Campus-Wide OptIPuterUsable • Solving Network Issues • Converted to Public IP Address Space to Facilitate Off-campus Connectivity • 4 GigE Channel Bonding – Worked With Chiaro to Improve Performance • Load-balancing Algorithm Among Links is Handled Differently at Layer 2 (Dell) and Layer 3 (Chiaro) • 35% of Bonded Link Capacity Before “Fix”, 60% Afterwards. L2-L2 (Dell-to-Dell) is 95% For Comparison • PVFS • 8 IBM Storage Nodes Running as PVFS Servers • Clients Running at SIO, JSOE and SOM • Performance Reasonable but not Significantly Larger than 1 Gigabit • Developing Support for Users [ HTTP://web.optiputer.net ] • Account Request Tools • Network Monitoring Facilities • Technical Network Configuration Information • Node Configuration Information • IP Allocation Map

  6. SoCal CalREN-XD OptIPuter Build-Out Expected Completion July 2004

  7. Year 3 Plans:Enhance Campus OptIPuter • A Substantial Portion of the Physical Build Completes in Year 2 • Endpoints, Cross-campus Fiber, Commodity Endpoints • Increase Campus Bandwidth • Work Towards More Extensive 10GigE Integration • Optiputer HW Budget Limited In Year 3, Focus is on Network Extension • Connect Two Campus Sites with 32-node Clusters At 10GigE • 3:1 Campus Bisection Ratio • Add/Expand a Moderate Number of new Campus Endpoints • Add New Endpoints Into The Chiaro Network • UCSD Sixth College • JSOE (Engineering) Collaborative Visualization Center • New Calit2 Research Facility • Add 3 General-purpose Sun Opteron Clusters at Key Campus Sites (Compute and Storage); Clusters Will All Have PCI-X (100 Mhz, 1Gbps) • Deploy Infiniband on Our IBM Storage Cluster and on a Previously-Donated Sun 128-node Compute Cluster • Complete Financial Acquisition of the Chiaro Router

  8. Year Three GoalsIntegrate New NSF Quartzite MRI • Goal -- integration of Packet-based (SoCal) and Circuit-based (Illinois) Approaches a Hybrid System • Add Additional O-O-O Switching Capabilities Through a Commercial (Calient Or Glimmerglass) All-optical Switch and the Lucent (Pre-commercial) Wavelength Selective Switch • Begin CWDM Deployment to Extend Optical Paths Around UCSD and Provide Additional Bandwidth • Add Additional 10GigE in Switches and Cluster Node NICs • MRI Proposal (Quartzite, Recommended for Funding) Allows Us to Match the Network to the Number of Existing Endpoints • This is a New Kind of Distributed Instrument • 300+ Components Distributed Over the Campus • Simple and Centralized Control for Other Optiputer Users

  9. UCSD Quartzite Core at Completion (Year 5 of OptIPuter) • Recommended for Funding • Physical HW to Enable Optiputer and Other Campus Networking Research • Hybrid Network Instrument
