The CRON (Cyber-infrastructure for Reconfigurable Optical Networks) project, led by Seung-Jong Park and co-PIs, focuses on building a robust experimental networking testbed that supports 10Gbps high-speed networks. This initiative aims to enable large-scale scientific research and ensure optimal resource sharing without interference. With experimental results showing aggregated throughput of up to 9Gbps, CRON addresses challenges including scarce resources and uncontrollable networking environments. It bridges the gap between physical networks and advanced computational resources for diverse scientific applications.
