FABRIC is a unique national research infrastructure to enable cutting-edge, and exploratory research at-scale in computer networking, distributed computing systems, and applications. It is a platform on which researchers will experiment with new ideas that will become building blocks of the next generation Internet and address requirements for emerging science applications that depend on large-scale networking. FABRIC will create the opportunities to explore innovative solutions not previously possible for a large variety of high-end science applications. FABRIC will provide a platform on which to educate and train the next generation of researchers on future advanced distributed systems designs. It will engage with students and educators from under-represented communities to create a diverse cohort of developers and experimenters. FABRIC members will participate in community building and will engage in outreach and tech transfer to industry affiliates. The FABRIC team is led by researchers from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of Kentucky, Clemson University, Illinois Institute of Technology, and the Department of Energy's ESnet (Energy Sciences Network). The team also includes researchers from many other universities to help test the design of the facility and integrate their computing facilities, testbeds and instruments into FABRIC. The main focus of the project is to create a nation-wide high-speed (100-1000 Gigabits per-second) network interconnecting major research centers and national computing facilities that will allow researchers and scientists at these facilities to develop and experiment with new distributed application, compute and network architectures not possible today. Uniquely, FABRIC nodes can store and process information "in the network" in ways not possible in the current Internet, which will lead to completely new networking protocols, architectures and applications that address pressing problems with performance, security and adaptability in the Internet. Reaching deep into university campuses, FABRIC will connect university researchers and their local compute clusters and scientific instruments to the larger FABRIC infrastructure. The infrastructure will also provide access to public clouds, such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure. This experimental facility will allow multiple experiments to be conducted simultaneously, and is capable of incorporating real traffic and real users into experiments.

All project software is available at https://github.com/FABRIC-testbed.This project is supported by the Foundation-wide Mid-scale Research Infrastructure program. The project will be managed by the Division of Computer & Network Systems (CNS) within the Directorate for Computer & Information Science & Engineering (CISE).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.

FABRIC是一个独特的国家研究基础设施，可以在计算机网络，分布式计算系统和应用程序中进行大规模的尖端和探索性研究。它是一个平台，研究人员将在此平台上试验新的想法，这些想法将成为下一代互联网的组成部分，并满足依赖于大规模网络的新兴科学应用的要求。FABRIC将为探索创新解决方案创造机会，这些解决方案以前不可能用于各种高端科学应用。 FABRIC将提供一个平台，在这个平台上教育和培训下一代研究人员，使他们了解未来先进的分布式系统设计。 它将与来自代表性不足社区的学生和教育工作者合作，创建一个多元化的开发人员和实验者群体。FABRIC成员将参与社区建设，并将参与外展和技术转让给行业分支机构。FABRIC团队由来自北卡罗来纳州查佩尔山大学、肯塔基州大学、克莱姆森大学、伊利诺伊理工学院和能源部ESnet（能源科学网络）的研究人员领导。该团队还包括来自许多其他大学的研究人员，以帮助测试该设施的设计，并将其计算设施，测试台和仪器集成到FABRIC中。该项目的主要重点是创建一个全国性的高速（每秒100-1000千兆比特）网络，将主要研究中心和国家计算设施连接起来，使这些设施的研究人员和科学家能够开发和试验新的分布式应用程序，计算和网络架构今天是不可能的。独特的是，FABRIC节点可以以当前互联网中不可能的方式在“网络中”存储和处理信息，这将导致全新的网络协议，架构和应用程序，以解决互联网中的性能，安全性和适应性等紧迫问题。FABRIC深入大学校园，将大学研究人员及其本地计算集群和科学仪器连接到更大的FABRIC基础设施。该基础设施还将提供对公共云的访问，例如Amazon Web Services，Google Cloud Platform和Microsoft Azure。该实验设施将允许同时进行多个实验，并且能够将真实的流量和真实的用户纳入实验。有关FABRIC的更多信息，包括连接设施的当前计划，请访问https://www.fabric-testbed.net。所有项目软件均可在www.example.com上获得https://github.com/FABRIC-testbed.This项目由基金会范围内的中型研究基础设施计划提供支持。该项目将由计算机信息科学工程理事会（CISE）内的计算机网络系统部（CNS）管理。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
