Internet…today•Internet: from thousands of users to millions of users.

• Web, email, low-quality audio & video

• Interconnect personal computers and servers

• Applications adapt to underlying technology While it can “accommodate” explosive growth and enable convergence of information, mass media and human collaboration, BUT

•Internet of the future will need to support billions of users and devices and the convergence of today’s applications with multimedia and ….


The new science: e-science

• Science used to about test tubes, wet labs and big instruments

• But increasingly science is moving to networks and computers

• Science is now longer bound by bricks and mortar or geography

• Recognition that more and more science is network and computationally based

• Examples….


Cont.

• Peer to peer: the killer application?

• Distributed Computing:• A problem is broken into many small

tasks• Tasks are then distributed to thousands

of PCs world wide• When PCs are not busy they work on

the distributed computation• After some time the results are returned

to a central server


SETI@home

• Demonstrated that PC Internet Computing Could Grow to Megacomputers

• Running on 500,000 PCs, ~1000 CPU Years per Day• Over Half a Million CPU Years so far!• 22 Teraflops sustained 24x7

• Sophisticated Data & Signal Processing Analysis

• Distributes Datasets from Arecibo Radio Telescope

Next Step-Allen Telescope Array

AreciboRadio Telescope

mailto:SETI@home


Folding@home

• This "virtual supercomputer" uses peer-to-peer technology to make unprecedented amounts of processing power available to medical researchers to accelerate the development of improved treatments and drugs that could potentially cure diseases.

• Rapid new discoveries in cancer research

Virtual Observatory

• www.voforum.org

• Discovery process will rely on advanced visualization and data mining tools

• Not tied to a single brick and mortar location

• Will cross correlate existing multi-spectral databases petabytes in size

No new telescopes or radio dishes. Just big networks interconnecting large database

Today’s Internet…•Today’s Internet does NOT:

•reliable performance (end-to-end)

•Encourage cooperation on new capabilities

•Allow testing of new technologies

•Support development of revolutionary applications

• meet the unique needs of research and education community

Research & Education• Universities strive for qualitative and quantitative improvements:

• In support of research • In support of teaching and learning

• how to accelerate the change in technologies and applications on the internet to support new demands for the research and education community?

• how can new technologies be incorporated into the existing Internet? (think back in when the Internet started…)

• Stanford -- the Internet protocols• NSFNet -- the scaled-up Internet• CERN -- the WWW protocols• University of Illinois -- the Web browser


Attributes of Advanced Apps• Provide qualitative and quantitative

improvements in how we conduct research and engage in teaching and learning

• Common attributes:• Remote instrumentation and

interactive collaboration • Distributed data storage and data

mining• Large-scale, multi-site

computation • Real-time access to remote

resources• Dynamic data visualization• Shared virtual reality


Science and Engineering• High Energy and Nuclear Physics

(HENP)• Generating multi-petabyte

datasets, gigabytes per second per experiment

• Cascading data storage model, near-zero packet loss per data stream, distributed database for end-user data manipulation

• Each experiment requires input from hundreds of researchers around the world


What are Grids?

• Grids enable the new science

• Original motivation, and support, from high-end science and engineering

• Enable communities (“virtual organizations”) to share resources as they pursue common goals

• New applications enabled by the coordinated use of geographically distributed resources

• E.g., distributed collaboration, data access and analysis, distributed computing, instrumentation

• Persistent infrastructure for large scale computing problems

• Using distributed computing resources of schools, universities and research centers

Remote Instrumentation• Instrumentation must be

controllable without local intervention

• Individual sites will have multiple data sources streaming data that will interact with the remote instrument

• Data will be made available both in real time and via storage

• Failsafe mechanisms must be in place in addition to normal network performance tests

Campus Network (out to Internet2)


• Advanced Networks: Latency, Loss and Jitter (network quality) are more important than pure bandwidth

• Provide wider access to limited resource

• Improves teaching and learning•Create a dynamic resource

• Share equipment• Dynamically analyze data with remote collaborators

• Enhance collaborative opportunities


Example: Astronomy

Mauna Kea, Hawaii

Cerro Pachon, Chile

• Data collection equipment is located in extreme environments

• Collaborators are spread across the globe

•

• Observers do not need to have physical contact with the equipment


Health Sciences• 3D Brain Map

• Visualization of data: real-time MRI, previously stored data, etc.

• Computational information transferred to supercomputers and used to understand brain functions in real time

• Very large multi-dimensional, multi-modal, time-varying data sets

• Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN)

• Extremely large data sets and repositories• Dynamically generate 3D visualizations

from medical records• Generating 36Gbytes/day, so new models

for search, retrieval and analysis will be necessary


Telepresence environment

• •Real-time interactions with very high quality audio and MPEG-2 video

• as needed “meetings” connecting faculty and staff across the ocean


Arts and Humanities• University of Oklahoma Master Classes

• High fidelity video and audio via MPEG2

• Optimized latency, audio/video synchronization

• Connecting Oklahoma with the New World Symphony in Miami, Florida

• Dancing Beyond Boundaries• Distance Collaborative Dance

Performance at SC2001• Hybrid performance combining local

and remote performances between Florida, Minnesota, Denver and Brazil

• Synchronizing choreography across the continent


Example: Language/Cultural Exchanges
