RI: FWGrid: A Research Infrastructure with Fast Wireless, Wired, Compute, and Data Infrastructure for Next Generation Systems and Applications

未来，在数字结构中，计算单元将通过它们的网络带宽、计算和数据能力，当然还有它们特定的输入/输出能力(例如，图形显示器、照相机、GPS、激光测距等)来区分。这些元素将被编织成大规模的分布式应用程序和资源池--一个越来越多地被称为“计算网格”的实体。“网格”元素的关键能力将在很大程度上取决于它们的通信和输入/输出能力。我们建议建立一个研究基础设施(FWGrid)，使人们能够研究创新和全新的应用程序、系统和系统架构，以及为未来的技术环境而建立的系统和服务的新兴技术甚至社会用途。该基础设施的关键方面是：o高性能的移动图像/视频捕获和显示设备(与世界互动)o高带宽无线100-500 Mbps(将移动元素与高容量资源紧密耦合)，o 10-100Gbps的丰富有线网络(无限制地移动和聚合数据和计算)，以及具有大型计算(万亿次浮点)和数据(10‘T S)能力的ANDO分布式集群(为基础设施供电)。更广泛的影响：FWGrid将使我们能够探索真实的系统和用户、全新的应用程序、新颖的应用程序结构、系统架构、资源管理策略、创新算法以及系统管理。它将从根本上促进本科生和研究生教育以及系的所有活动。因为FWGrid将是一个“活的实验室”，我们将能够接触到真实的用户和实际的工作负载。FWGrid模拟了五年后的世界，在那里，广泛的高带宽无线、极高的有线(光纤)带宽以及充足的有线计算和数据资源是标准。FWGrid将被用来支持广泛的研究，从低层网络测量和分析，到网格中间件和建模，到面向应用的中间件和新的分布式应用体系结构，最后到使用丰富的图像和视频的更高级别的应用-离线和在线。FWGrid将对该系产生革命性的影响，加速我们向实验计算机科学的发展，继续变革并拓宽本科生和研究生教育，提供在其上进行研究实验的现代网格基础设施，但也延伸到无线和对等计算/存储。由于我们新的CSE建设的机缘巧合，基础设施将对该部门的教育、研究和社会环境产生深刻影响。它将支持实验研究、多教职人员和多学科合作研究和教育。FWGrid将在系内形成系统研究的纽带，并将我们所有人连接到校园内的研究人员，连接到SDSC和CALIT2，大都市地区，以及高带宽的广域。这将使无数的共享实验和合作成为可能。简而言之，它将高速地将我们与未来联系在一起。

In the future, in the digital fabric, computing elements will be distinguished by their networked bandwidth, compute and data capabilities, and of course their particular input/output capabilities (e.g. graphical displays, cameras, GPS, laser range-finding, etc.). These elements will be knit into large scale distributed applications and resource pools - together an entity increasingly known as the "computational grid". The key capabilities of a "Grid" element will be determined largely by their communication and input/output capabilities.We propose a research infrastructure (FWGrid) that enables research in innovative and radically new applications, systems and system architectures, and the emerging technical and even social use of systems and services built for technology environment of the future. The key aspects of this infrastructure are:o highly capable mobile image/video capture and display devices (to interact with the world)o high bandwidth wireless 100-500 Mbps (to tightly couple mobile elements to high capability resources),o rich wired networks of 10-100Gbps (move and aggregate data and computation without limit), ando distributed clusters with large compute (teraflops) and data (10's of terabytes) capabilities (to power the infrastructure). Broader Impact: FWGrid will enable us to explore with real systems and users, radical new applications, novel application structures, system architecture, resource management policies, innovative algorithms, as well as system management. It will fundamentally enhance undergraduate and graduate education and all activities of the department. Because FWGrid will be a "living laboratory", we will gain access to real users and actual workloads. FWGrid models the world of five years hence, where widespread high bandwidth wireless, extreme wired (fiber) bandwidth, and plentiful wired computing and data resource are the norm. FWGrid will be used to support a wide variety of research, ranging from low-level network measurement and analysis, to grid middleware and modeling, to application-oriented middleware and new distributed application architecture and finally to higher level applications using rich image and video - both off and on line.FWGrid will have a transformative impact on the department, accelerating our growth into experimental computer science, continuing the transform and broaden both undergraduate and graduate education, providing a modern Grid infrastructure on which to perform research experiments, but one that also extends to wireless and peer-to-peer computing/storage. Because of the fortuitous timing with respect to our new CSE building, the infrastructure will have a deep impact on the department's educational, research, and social environment. It will support experimental research, multi-faculty and multi-disciplinary collaborative research and education. FWGrid will form a nexus for systems research within the department, and couple all of us to researchers on the campus, to SDSC and CalIT2, the metropolitan area, and wide area at high bandwidth. This will enable innumerable shared experiments and collaboration. In short, it will couple us to the future at high speed.
