RI: FWGrid: A Research Infrastructure with Fast Wireless, Wired, Compute, and Data Infrastructure for Next Generation Systems and Applications

在未来，在数字结构中，计算元件将通过其网络带宽、计算和数据能力以及当然其特定的输入/输出能力（例如图形显示器、相机、GPS、激光测距等）来区分。这些元素将被编织成大规模的分布式应用程序和资源池--一个越来越被称为“计算网格”的实体。一个“网格”元素的关键能力将在很大程度上取决于他们的通信和输入/输出capability.We提出了一个研究基础设施（FWGrid），使研究创新和全新的应用程序，系统和系统架构，以及新兴的技术，甚至社会使用的系统和服务的技术环境的未来。这种基础设施的关键方面是：高性能的移动的图像/视频捕获和显示设备（与世界互动）、100-500 Mbps的高带宽无线（将移动的元素与高性能资源紧密耦合）、10- 100 Gbps的丰富有线网络（无限制地移动和聚合数据和计算）以及具有大型计算（万亿次浮点运算）和数据（数十万亿字节）能力的分布式集群（为基础设施提供动力）。更广泛的影响：FWGrid将使我们能够与真实的系统和用户一起探索全新的应用程序、新颖的应用程序结构、系统体系结构、资源管理策略、创新算法以及系统管理。它将从根本上提高本科和研究生教育和部门的所有活动。因为FWGrid将是一个“活的实验室”，我们将获得真实的用户和实际的工作负载。FWGrid模拟了五年后的世界，其中广泛的高带宽无线，极端的有线（光纤）带宽和丰富的有线计算和数据资源是常态。FWGrid将用于支持各种各样的研究，从底层网络测量和分析，到网格中间件和建模，到面向应用的中间件和新的分布式应用程序架构，最后到使用丰富的图像和视频的更高级别的应用程序-离线和在线。FWGrid将对该部门产生变革性的影响，加速我们向实验计算机科学的发展，继续转变和扩大本科生和研究生教育，提供一个现代网格基础设施，在其上进行研究实验，但一个也扩展到无线和对等计算/存储。由于我们新的CSE大楼的偶然时机，基础设施将对该部门的教育，研究和社会环境产生深刻的影响。它将支持实验研究，多学科和多学科的合作研究和教育。FWGrid将形成系内系统研究的纽带，并将我们所有人与校园内的研究人员、SDSC和CalIT 2、大都市区和高带宽广域网连接起来。这将使无数的共享实验和合作成为可能。简而言之，它将以高速将我们与未来联系起来。

In the future, in the digital fabric, computing elements will be distinguished by their networked bandwidth, compute and data capabilities, and of course their particular input/output capabilities (e.g. graphical displays, cameras, GPS, laser range-finding, etc.). These elements will be knit into large scale distributed applications and resource pools - together an entity increasingly known as the "computational grid". The key capabilities of a "Grid" element will be determined largely by their communication and input/output capabilities.We propose a research infrastructure (FWGrid) that enables research in innovative and radically new applications, systems and system architectures, and the emerging technical and even social use of systems and services built for technology environment of the future. The key aspects of this infrastructure are:o highly capable mobile image/video capture and display devices (to interact with the world)o high bandwidth wireless 100-500 Mbps (to tightly couple mobile elements to high capability resources),o rich wired networks of 10-100Gbps (move and aggregate data and computation without limit), ando distributed clusters with large compute (teraflops) and data (10's of terabytes) capabilities (to power the infrastructure). Broader Impact: FWGrid will enable us to explore with real systems and users, radical new applications, novel application structures, system architecture, resource management policies, innovative algorithms, as well as system management. It will fundamentally enhance undergraduate and graduate education and all activities of the department. Because FWGrid will be a "living laboratory", we will gain access to real users and actual workloads. FWGrid models the world of five years hence, where widespread high bandwidth wireless, extreme wired (fiber) bandwidth, and plentiful wired computing and data resource are the norm. FWGrid will be used to support a wide variety of research, ranging from low-level network measurement and analysis, to grid middleware and modeling, to application-oriented middleware and new distributed application architecture and finally to higher level applications using rich image and video - both off and on line.FWGrid will have a transformative impact on the department, accelerating our growth into experimental computer science, continuing the transform and broaden both undergraduate and graduate education, providing a modern Grid infrastructure on which to perform research experiments, but one that also extends to wireless and peer-to-peer computing/storage. Because of the fortuitous timing with respect to our new CSE building, the infrastructure will have a deep impact on the department's educational, research, and social environment. It will support experimental research, multi-faculty and multi-disciplinary collaborative research and education. FWGrid will form a nexus for systems research within the department, and couple all of us to researchers on the campus, to SDSC and CalIT2, the metropolitan area, and wide area at high bandwidth. This will enable innumerable shared experiments and collaboration. In short, it will couple us to the future at high speed.
