Los Angeles Regional Gigabit Environment

Metacenter Regional Alliance（MRA）将提供对高级HPCC资源的高速访问，将进一步推进元数据计算模式，将刺激HPCC和NII技术在工业和教育中的使用，并将研究支持NII服务的技术和工具。 洛杉矶地区千兆环境（LARGE）将专注于选定的学术和工业合作伙伴，他们可以从立即访问元中心和加州理工学院的资源中受益。 一个主要的重点将是帮助用户，特别是工业合作伙伴，访问计算和通信设施的元中心和加州理工学院。 工业合作伙伴包括高性能计算系统的用户和为这些系统开发软件的独立软件开发商。 LARGE将提供： - 访问元中心和加州理工学院的先进设施，包括可扩展I/O计划--加州理工学院、圣地亚哥超级计算中心和其他MRA合作伙伴之间的千兆位速度访问--在科学、工程和工业领域使用可扩展并行处理器进行高级仿真和建模的专业知识 将与元中心开展跨高速广域网异构计算、高性能I/O系统和适应软件工具的合作研究项目，例如，可视化工具，用于元中心的先进计算机上，以支持工业合作伙伴的功能。 LARGE将通过探索支持NII应用所需的技术，如高速、大容量数据存储系统和在低速和高速连接上运行的远程协作环境，为NII做出贡献。

9418345 Messina This Metacenter Regional Alliance (MRA) will provide high speed access to advanced HPCC resources, will further the metasupercomputing paradigm, will stimulate the use of HPCC and NII technologies in industry and education, and will investigate technologies and tools in support of NII services. The Los Angeles Regional Gigabit Environment (LARGE) will concentrate on selected academic and industrial partners who can benefit from immediate access to the metacenter, and to he resources at Caltech. A major focus will be helping users, especially industrial partners, access the computing and communications facilities in the metacenter and Caltech. The industrial partners include both users of high performance computing systems and independent software vendors who develop software for such systems. LARGE will provide: - access to the advanced facilities of the metacenter and Caltech, including the scalable I/O initiative - gigabit speed access between Caltech, the San Diego Supercomputing Center, and other MRA partners - expertise on the use of scalable parallel processors for advanced simulation and modeling in science, engineering, and industry Collaborative research projects will be carried out with the metacenter on heterogeneous computing across high speed, wide area networks, on high performance I/O systems, and on adapting software tools, e.g., visualization tools, for use on the metacenter's advanced computers to support the functionality of industrial partners. LARGE will contribute to the NII by exploring technologies needed to support NII applications, such s high speed, high capacity data storage systems, and tele-collaboration environments that operate on low speed and high speed connections.
