OptIPuter All Hands Meeting 2005
Participants: Alan Verlo, Jason Leigh, Laura Wolf, Luc Renambot, Maxine Brown, Thomas A. DeFanti
Institutions: UCSD, UCI, SDSU, UIC, UIUC / NCSA, NU, TAMU, USGS, UVA, NASA UCSD San Diego Supercomputer Center, San Diego, CA The OptIPuter annual All Hands Meeting is a three-day meeting, to be held January 26-28, during which participants from all 11 NSF-funded and affiliate academic partners sites from across the U.S. and Europe will meet to discuss the OptIPuter’s third year’s progress and update work plans, timelines, and deliverables. The OptIPuter is a powerful distributed cyberinfrastructure to support data-intensive scientific research and collaboration. It has two application drivers the NIH Biomedical Informatics Research Network and the NSF EarthScope where scientists are generating multi-gigabytes of 3D volumetric data objects that reside on distributed archives that they want to correlate, analyze, and visualize. The OptIPuter is being designed as a “virtual” parallel computer in which the individual “processors” are widely distributed clusters; the “memory” is in the form of large distributed data repositories; “peripherals” are very-large scientific instruments, visualization displays and/or sensor arrays; and the “motherboard” uses standard IP delivered over multiple dedicated lambdas. PEOPLE INVOLVED: Principal Investigator: Larry Smarr, California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology [Cal-(IT)2] at the University of California-San Diego (UCSD) Co-Principal Investigators: Tom DeFanti and Jason Leigh, University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC); Mark Ellisman and Philip Papadopoulos, UCSD Project Manager: Maxine Brown, UIC System Software Architect: Andrew Chien, UCSD INSTITUTIONS INVOLVED Partner institutions: University of California, San Diego University of Illinois at Chicago Northwestern University San Diego State University Texas A&M University University of California, Irvine University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) University of Southern California, Information Sciences Institute Affiliate Partner institutions: USGS Earth Resources Observation Systems (EROS) Data Center (EDC) University of Amsterdam (UvA) NASA Corporate Partners: Big Bangwidth Calient Networks CANARIE Chiaro Networks Cisco Glimmerglass Networks HP IBM Level (3) Communications Lucent Technologies Sun Microsystems Telcordia The OptIPuter receives major funding from the National Science Foundation, cooperative agreement SCI-0225642 to UCSD.
