MRI: Evolutionary Development of an Advanced Distributed Testbed

提案编号：CNS 07-23248PI(s): Lepreau, Jay Corbato, Steven c .机构：犹他大学盐湖城分校，UT 84112-8930标题：MRI/Dev。建议：这个项目，开发一个先进的分布式测试平台，旨在从几个现有的基础设施项目中获取最好的软件组件，添加缺失的部分，将它们集成到一个一致的整体中，部署在选定的硬件和网络连接上，并快速构建一个早期的，但功能齐全的先进实验设施版本，称为NewLab。这项工作分为三个阶段。提供早期但广泛而强大的功能，其中Emulab和PlanetLab的最佳组件集成为一个连贯的整体；关注界面和软件模块化，发展更简洁的界面和更多可分离的模块；细化和改进所选组件，调优以获得更好的性能。更广泛的影响：该试验台为研究人员和学生提供了丰富的实验网络设施，集成和强大的实验管理来控制它，以及试验台和实验管理的组件和接口的工程和架构课程。

Proposal #: CNS 07-23248PI(s): Lepreau, Jay Corbato, Steven C.Institution: University of Utah Salt Lake City, UT 84112-8930Title: MRI/Dev.: Evolutionary Development of an Advanced Distributed TestbedProject Proposed:This project, developing an advanced distributed testbed, aims to take the best software components from several existing infrastructure projects, add missing pieces, integrate them into a coherent whole, deploy on selected hardware and network connections, and quickly build an early, but fully functional version of an advanced experimental facility, called NewLab. The work evolves in three phases that. Provide early but broad and powerful function, where the best components of Emulab and PlanetLab are integrated into a coherent whole;. Focus on interfaces and software modularity, evolving cleaner interfaces and more separable modules;. Refine, and improve selected components, tuning for better performance.Broader Impacts: The testbed provides researchers and students with a rich experimental network facility, an integrated and powerful experimental management to control it, and engineering and architectural lessons on components and interfaces for testbed and experiment management.
