Its not all about bigger pipes •  re-architecting the campus border [longer term ~

re-engineering trust relationships] •  How your campus networking plans fit into the

broader cyberinfrastructure strategy for your campus – campus CI Plan

•  driving partnerships between scientists and campus IT – enabling science and education

* end-to-end perspective on networking and performance

CC*DNI - Campus Cyberinfrastructure – Data, Networking, and Innovation, NSF 15-534

v  Campus Networking program combining with DIBBs for 2015 Ø  Addressing Campus CI and bridging, directly responsive to ACCI Task Force

recommendations

v  Previously called CC-NIE (Campus Cyberinfrastructure – Network Infrastructure and Engineering) and CC*IIE – NSF12-541/13-530/14-521 Ø  network infrastructure improvements at campus level (re-architecting for large

data science flows, upgrades within campus and external connectivity) Ø  Network integration and applied innovation (e.g. development and experimental

deployment of SDN/openflow, transitioning successful results in FIA)

v  Synopsis: CC*DNI integrates campus-level data & networking infrastructure for higher levels of performance, reliability & predictability for science applications & distributed research, with an explicit element supporting models for potential future national scale network-aware data-focused cyberinfrastructure attributes, approaches & capabilities.

12

CC*DNI Program-wide Criteria

v  Science Drivers v  Partnerships between campus CI experts and scientists v  Campus Cyberinfrastructure plan

Ø  plan within which the proposed network infrastructure improvements are conceived, designed, and implemented in the context of a coherent campus-wide strategy and approach to CI

Ø  Maximum 5-pg supplementary document addressing: •  Sustainability of proposed work in terms of ongoing operational and engineering costs

•  Refer to solicitation for guidance on technical areas to include such as IPv6, InCommon federation, and IP spoofing

Ø  See example CI plans from existing awardees at http://fasterdata.es.net/campusCIplanning/

The Science DMZ

Example Accomplishments from ACI Networking Programs

v  (CC-NIE) UMd – developing network embedded storage and compute resources via Software Defined Networking (SDN) and exposing services to scientific applications and workflows

v  (CC-NIE) U of Washington – campus networking upgrades doubled particle physics data transfers to/from PNNL to 1.4Gbps single flow (Ed Lazowska, PI)

v  (IRNC) 4X capacity improvement (80Gbps aggregate) in connecting Astronomy facilities in Hawaii to US mainland

v  (IRNC) 4X capacity improvement (40 Gbps aggregate) between US and South America – LSST may require 100Gbps by 2020

Another Example – U of Dayton v  Impact at Dayton – “a high performance connection…driven

by our NSF strategy of providing DMZ connections for researchers with a specific need. NSF is truly helping the University of Dayton ‘raise the entire harbor’ for science and engineering work on campus and we have used the prestige of this grant to get the attention of our campus leadership to ensure the continued funding for HPC investments.

v  Impact on Dayton Partners - “Our work bringing up the connections at Central State Univ (Historically Black College) has gone well. Part of our funding supports upgrades at their campus. CSU does not have deep-expertise on networking at their campus, so we sent our engineering staff to supervise the work of contractors in upgrading their fiber and connecting the new DMZ infrastructure…the NSF support has truly transformed a chunk of the CSU network into a science-ready environment that has our researchers working collaboratively with their faculty and students. The funding from NSF is making a huge difference for several faculty and students at Central State - They are working on cutting edge projects with Vijay Asari on our campus in the area of "Computer Vision”
