The University of South Carolina (UofSC) is establishing a new network, namely a Science DMZ, operating at 100 Gbps. The Science DMZ supports current research moving terabyte-scale data between UofSC and national laboratories (e.g., Argonne, Fermi, Oak Ridge, Savannah River, Los Alamos), university collaborators, and the national network of supercomputer centers (XSEDE). The project serves the national interest, as it addresses the need to connect UofSC to the national "cyber-highway" system to share big science data, hence promoting collaboration and national competitiveness, aligned with NSF's mission. The new cyberinfrastructure also permits researchers to exchange large datasets with collaborators geographically distributed across the world. Examples include nuclear physics results from the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland and observation files from the Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) in Italy. The elements of UofSC's Science DMZ include: i) data transfer nodes (DTNs), built for sending/receiving data at a high speed over wide area networks; ii) high-throughput, friction-free paths connecting DTNs, instruments, storage devices, and computing systems; iii) measurement devices to monitor end-to-end paths; and iv) security policies tailored for high-performance environments. The proposed Science DMZ substantially increases the bandwidth to compute and XSEDE resources, permitting their use on digital image correlation, semiconductor material development, DNA/RNA sequencing, and other areas. Additionally, UofSC hosts key national resources and centers including the first U.S. deployed Time of Flight-Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometer, NOAA's National Estuarine Research Reserves database, McNair Aerospace Center, and Baruch Institute. These resources are now more efficiently used by researchers and collaborators.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

南卡罗来纳大学（UOFSC）正在建立一个新的网络，即科学DMZ，运行100 Gbps。科学DMZ支持UOFSC和国家实验室（例如Argonne，Fermi，Oak Ridge，Savannah River，Los Alamos），大学合作者以及国家合作者和国家超级计算机中心（XSEDE）国家合作者（XSEDE）之间的当前研究研究迁移trabyte规模的数据。该项目符合国家利益，因为它解决了将UOFSC连接到国家“网络高速公路”系统的必要性，以共享大型科学数据，从而促进了与NSF的使命一致的协作和国家竞争力。新的网络基础设施还允许研究人员与在世界范围内分布的合作者交换大型数据集。例子包括瑞士的保罗·施雷尔研究所（Paul Scherrer Institute）的核物理学结果以及意大利罕见事件（Cuore）的低温地下观测文件。 UOFSC科学DMZ的元素包括：i）数据传输节点（DTN），用于以高速在广域网络上发送/接收数据； ii）连接DTN，仪器，存储设备和计算系统的高通量，无摩擦路径； iii）测量设备以监视端到端路径； iv）针对高性能环境量身定制的安全策略。提出的科学DMZ大大增加了计算和XSEDE资源的带宽，允许它们在数字图像相关性，半导体材料的开发，DNA/RNA测序以及其他领域的使用。此外，UOFSC还拥有关键的国家资源和中心，包括美国第一个部署的飞行电感耦合等离子质量光谱仪，NOAA的国家河口研究保留数据库，麦克奈尔航空航天中心和Baruch Institute。研究人员和合作者现在更有效地使用了这些资源。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并认为使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，被认为值得通过评估。
