  32. Trip Purpose Explore Opportunities to Expand the US-Russian NaukaNet S&E Program: with partners from Chinese Academy of Science (CAS), with CAS’ CSTnet and with a global ring network based on lightwave technology

  33. Trip Results December 14, 2002 Memorandum of Understanding Signed by China (Jiang Mianheng), Russia (E. Velikhov), and US (G. Cole) to develop GLORIAD

  34. Trip Results Consensus Reached on GLORIAD program With Plans for Program Development, Program Management, Network Topology, Technology, Science Collaborations

  35. The Memorandum of Understanding • The Chinese Academy of Sciences represented by the Computer Network Information Center (CNIC), the Russian Research Center “Kurchatov Institute” and the US National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) of the University of Illinois jointly propose a new strategic framework for advancing S&E cooperation among the three countries and across the myriad disciplines comprising current and future collaborative research. Linking their scientific communities with an advanced S&E network and Grid-based services, the multi-national GLORIAD program will actively encourage and coordinate applications across multiple disciplines and provide for sharing such scientific resources as databases, instrumentation, computational services, software, etc. In addition to supporting active scientific exchange with network services, the program will provide a test bed for advancing the state-of-the-art in collaborative and network technologies – including Grid-based applications, optical network switching, an IPv6 backbone, network traffic engineering and network security. Supporting the increasing growth in global S&E cooperation, GLORIAD will cooperate with other national S&E networks and scientific resources as required.

  36. Lightwave/Lambda Network • 10 Gbps Lambda Continuous Ring (segmented into multiple GigE ethernets) • Need to decide carrier issues, meet points, etc. • Russia’s network will be ready (to Russia-China border) in late 2003 • China’s network will be ready (to Russia-China border) in early 2004 • Important in later phase of project (year 3) that we have multiple lambdas (at least, when needed) and capability to switch lambdas on demand

  37. Action Items • Determine carrier issues for trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific links. Must choose carrier with stable financial base, excess lambda capacity, eagerness to work on large R&D project. • Finalize arrangements with Russian company TransTelecom • Finalize transit issues within and to/from China • Finalize network topology (optical nodes, facilities, equipment)

  38. Resource Access/Scheduling System • Provide for ability to advance-schedule resource allocation requests end-to-end • Software system to automatically update network devices • Must handle Level 2 switching for end-to-end VLAN provisioning • Must handle Level 3 routing for providing improved QoS through core network (for example, using MPLS or other service) • Must by year 3 provide for scheduling/switching (at optical level) lightwaves • Must provide back-end reporting and surveying to determine how well network met customer’s needs

  39. Collaboration Framework • Middleware/grid tools, technologies (“Cyberinfrastructure”) • Collaboration • Sharing of computational resources • Sharing of storage/data resources • Sharing of expensive/scarce instrumentation, sensor data, etc.

  40. Global Grid Development • GLORIAD will provide the network linking GRID communities in US, Russia and China (and, via Starlight and Netherlight, other countries) • Will support the general US-Russian NaukaGrid program and other focused Grid communities

  41. ITER-Grid Development • Dr. Velikhov’s goal: “Virtual ITER” sites with ready, immediate access to conferencing facilities, live data streams generated by experiments/operations, distributed access to computational resources, remote instrumentation, monitoring and control applications. • Need conferencing/lecture capabilities immediately (AG?) • Network needs will eventually exceed 10 Gbps • Preparing “concept paper” on what the ITER-Grid will be • Would like to propose joint development effort: NCSA, Argonne, ORNL, others?

  42. Kurchatov Institute Conferencing Facilities • Currently based on several H.323 (polycom) devices • Would like to add Access Grid node • Useful for KI collaborations with NCSA, ORNL, Argonne, Sandia, ITER/fusion community • Useful model for other Russian sites (implement multicast network across Russian S&E network) • NaukaNet network capable

  43. Application Communities • GLORIAD is to focus on application communities - especially those with needs which could not be met without such an advanced network • First, need to identify and document needs of these communities • Second, need to educate/inform scientists, educators, students about potential services, capabilities • Third, need to continually inform/update broad community about opportunities of collaboration
