Prism@UCSD creates a campus-wide "Big Data freeway" composed of high-bandwidth end-to-end optical connections routed by a next-generation Arista switch. This creates an optical fabric capable of more than 10 Terabit/s of aggregate bandwidth, has full bisection similar to in-machine room clusters but is deployed at a campus scale. This researcher-defined network unites users of in-lab scientific instruments such as genome sequencers and microscopes with remote compute, visualization, data-storage and analysis systems. Prism bridges to, augments, and protects the existing campus production network by providing a complementary, specialized, cost-effective, massive-capacity network to a targeted group of data-intensive labs. Prism builds upon and upgrades the Quartzite "campus-scale network laboratory" NSF MRI (awarded 2006) that was motivated by applications with extreme-scale bandwidth requirements. Compared to Quartzite, Prism not only adds IPv6 capability and support for software defined networks via OpenFlow, but also increases port capacity by 4x, lowers power consumption by 3x, and removes all card-to-switch-backplane over-subscription at the core switch. In addition, the existing optical fiber connection to the San Diego Supercomputer Center is being expanded to 120Gbps as a high-bandwidth bridge to cloud/parallel storage and NSF XSEDE resources. This fundamentally enables research in multiple disciplines, including physics, chemistry, biology, climate change, oceanography, and computer science to address big-data challenges.Workshops will be held with regional optical networks and EDUCAUSE to disseminate experience to research campuses and fully describe this cost-effective, expandable and replicable infrastructure. In addition, a summer workshop aimed at minority serving institutions will build on Calit2 / SDSC's tradition of diversity outreach. Prism will form a model for others to follow in building their own big-data transportation systems.

Prism@UCSD创建了一个校园范围的“大数据高速公路”，由下一代Arista交换机路由的高带宽端到端光学连接组成。 这将创建一个能够超过10 TB/s聚合带宽的光纤结构，具有类似于机房内集群的完全二等分，但以园区规模部署。这个由研究人员定义的网络将实验室科学仪器（如基因组测序仪和显微镜）的用户与远程计算、可视化、数据存储和分析系统联系起来。 Prism通过向目标数据密集型实验室群体提供互补、专业化、经济高效、容量充足的网络，连接、增强和保护现有园区生产网络。Prism基于并升级了Quartzite“校园规模网络实验室”NSF MRI（2006年授予），该实验室的动机是具有极端规模带宽要求的应用程序。与Quartzite相比，Prism不仅增加了IPv6功能和通过OpenFlow对软件定义网络的支持，而且还将端口容量增加了4倍，功耗降低了3倍，并消除了核心交换机上所有卡到交换机背板的过度订阅。 此外，与圣地亚哥超级计算机中心的现有光纤连接正在扩展到120 Gbps，作为连接云/并行存储和NSF XSEDE资源的高带宽桥梁。这从根本上使物理学、化学、生物学、气候变化、海洋学和计算机科学等多学科的研究能够应对大数据挑战。将与区域光网络和EDUCAUSE一起举办研讨会，向研究校园传播经验，并充分描述这种具有成本效益、可扩展和可复制的基础设施。 此外，将在Calit 2/ SDSC多样性外联传统的基础上，为少数群体服务机构举办一个夏季讲习班。Prism将为其他人建立自己的大数据传输系统提供一个模型。
