CC*DNI DIBBs: The Pacific Research Platform

数据密集型领域的研究越来越多地由多研究者和多机构参与，这取决于对超大型异构和广泛分布的数据集的更快访问。太平洋研究平台（PRP）是一个多机构可扩展部署，旨在建立一个科学驱动的高容量数据中心“高速公路系统”。PRP涵盖了加州大学的所有10个校区，以及加州主要的私立研究型大学、4个超级计算机中心和加州以外的几所大学。15个多校区数据密集型应用团队作为PRP的推动者，在项目的五年时间里向技术设计人员提供反馈。这些应用领域包括粒子物理学、天文学/天体物理学、地球科学、生物医学和可扩展多媒体，为许多其他应用提供了模型。PRP建立在NSF和能源部（DOE）之前的投资基础上。PRP采用的基本模型是“科学非军事区”，由DOE ESnet进行原型设计。（科学DMZ被定义为“网络的一部分，构建在校园本地网络边界或附近，其设计使设备、配置和安全策略针对高性能科学应用程序而不是通用业务系统进行了优化”）。在过去三年中，NSF通过校园网络基础设施-网络基础设施和工程（CC-NIE）拨款资助了100多所美国校园，以积极升级其网络容量，大大增强科学数据访问，在每个校园内创建科学dmz。PRP伙伴关系将nsf资助的校园科学dmz扩展到一个区域模型，该模型允许高速数据密集型网络，促进研究人员在他们的实验室和合作者的站点、超级计算机中心或数据存储库之间移动数据，并使数据能够穿越多个异构网络，而不会在校园、区域、国家和国际距离上出现性能下降。PRP的数据共享架构，端到端10-40-100Gb/s连接，提供数据与计算资源的远程虚拟共址，并具有增强的安全性选项。

Research in data-intensive fields is increasingly multi-investigator and multi-institutional, depending on ever more rapid access to ultra-large heterogeneous and widely distributed datasets. The Pacific Research Platform (PRP) is a multi-institutional extensible deployment that establishes a science-driven high-capacity data-centric 'freeway system.' The PRP spans all 10 campuses of the University of California, as well as the major California private research universities, four supercomputer centers, and several universities outside California. Fifteen multi-campus data-intensive application teams act as drivers of the PRP, providing feedback to the technical design staff over the five years of the project. These application areas include particle physics, astronomy/astrophysics, earth sciences, biomedicine, and scalable multimedia, providing models for many other applications. The PRP builds on prior NSF and Department of Energy (DOE) investments. The basic model adopted by the PRP is 'The Science DMZ,' being prototyped by the DOE ESnet. (A Science DMZ is defined as 'a portion of the network, built at or near the campus local network perimeter that is designed such that the equipment, configuration, and security policies are optimized for high-performance scientific applications rather than for general-purpose business systems'). In the last three years, NSF has funded over 100 U.S. campuses through Campus Cyberinfrastructure - Network Infrastructure and Engineering (CC-NIE) grants to aggressively upgrade their network capacity for greatly enhanced science data access, creating Science DMZs within each campus. The PRP partnership extends the NSF-funded campus Science DMZs to a regional model that allows high-speed data-intensive networking, facilitating researchers moving data between their laboratories and their collaborators' sites, supercomputer centers or data repositories, and enabling that data to traverse multiple heterogeneous networks without performance degradation over campus, regional, national, and international distances. The PRP's data sharing architecture, with end-to-end 10-40-100Gb/s connections, provides long-distance virtual co-location of data with computing resources, with enhanced security options.
