The availability and growing use of high-performance heterogeneous computing and storage components by scientists across university campuses has led to realization that the general-purpose campus network offers neither the capacity nor the capabilities necessary for data-intensive research project. This project designs, builds and maintains a new network at the University of Oregon (UO) campus called Bridging Open Networks for Scientific Applications and Innovation (BONSAI). BONSAI is designed as a high-performance science network providing high end-to-end throughput and unique capabilities between five interconnected UO facilities, as well as computing resources located at other institutions throughout Internet2.This project primarily focuses on the following five major tasks:(1) Creating a Science DMZ platform among major computing facilities across UO; (2) Adding a new 10Gbps network circuit between the UO and Internet2; (3) Implementing and operating Software-Defined Networking(SDN) technologies throughout the network; (4) Promoting the development of IPv6- and service-aware scientific applications, and (5) Socializing the use of the UO's membership to the InCommon federation.BONSAI also serves as a testbed for experimental research on new networking technologies (e.g.,SDN) and facilitates to support data-intensive applications (e.g., visualization), including their translation for educational purposes. This project will directly impact teaching and training opportunities for undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers by providing access to advanced computing infrastructure and networking capabilities. Finally, the project will significantly advance the broader access and dissemination of UO research results for advancing scientific and technological understanding.

高性能异构计算和存储组件的可用性和越来越多的使用，跨大学校园的科学家们已经意识到，通用的校园网络既不提供数据密集型研究项目所需的容量和功能。该项目在俄勒冈州大学（UO）校园设计、构建和维护一个名为“科学应用和创新的开放网络桥接”（BONSAI）的新网络。BONSAI是一个高性能的科学网络，在五个相互连接的UO设施之间提供高的端到端吞吐量和独特的能力，以及位于整个Internet 2的其他机构的计算资源。（3）在整个网络中实施和运行软件定义网络（SDN）技术;（4）促进IPv6和服务感知科学应用的开发;（5）社会化使用UO的InCommon联盟成员资格。BONSAI还作为新网络技术实验研究的试验平台（例如，SDN）并且有助于支持数据密集型应用（例如，可视化），包括其翻译为教育目的。该项目将通过提供先进的计算基础设施和网络功能，直接影响本科生，研究生和博士后研究人员的教学和培训机会。 最后，该项目将大大促进更广泛地获得和传播UO研究成果，以促进科学和技术理解。
