CC*IIE Networking Infrastructure: Enabling Big Computing and Data Intensive Cyberinfrastructure (EBCDIC)

支持数据密集型计算的大计算(EBCDIC)项目将马里兰大学巴尔的摩县分校(UMBC)的研究互联网连接升级到100 GB，并允许重新设计园区网络，以更好地支持数据密集型计算。作为第一步，UMBC正在将其Internet2连接升级到中大西洋十字路口(Max)Gigapop，以便能够以尽可能最快的速度连接到Internet2创新平台。通过实施科学非军事区，UMBC在与喷气推进实验室的合作中提高了能力和生产率，并分享了气候变化调查和天气预报的数据。此外，EBCDIC项目极大地有利于ECOSYNTH项目，该项目旨在支持使用来自各种低空传感器的3D和光谱图像数据。一旦UMBC完成与Internet2创新平台的100 GB连接，调查人员就可以专注于在校园内部署软件定义网络(SDN)。通过使用SDN，UMBC寻求大幅改善需要极低延迟时间的大数据项目的连接，包括一个神经科学项目，该项目涉及实时处理和监控加州大学圣地亚哥分校(UCSD)和UMBC用户之间的脑电数据。随着UMBC网络安全中心准备更多地参与全球网络创新环境(GENI)，SDN园区的部署也使UMBC最近收购的ExoGeni基础设施能够推进网络安全工作。

The Enabling Big Computing for Data Intensive Computing (EBCDIC) project upgrades the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) research Internet connectivity to 100 Gb and allow the redesign of the campus network to better support data-intensive computing. As a first step, UMBC is upgrading its Internet2 connection to MidAtlantic Crossroads (MAX) Gigapop so that it can connect to the Internet2 Innovation Platform at the fastest speeds possible. Through the implementation of the science-DMZ, UMBC improves capacity and productivity in its collaboration with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the sharing of data for climate change investigation and weather prediction. In addition, the EBCDIC project greatly benefits the ECOSYNTH project, which is designed to support the use of 3D and spectral imagery data from a variety of low-altitude sensors.Once UMBC completes its 100 Gb connection to the Internet2 Innovation Platform, the investigators can focus on the deployment of software-defined-networks (SDN) on campus. Through the use of SDN, UMBC seeks substantially improved connections of big-data projects that require extremely low latency times, including a neuroscience project that involves real-time processing and the monitoring of EEG data between users at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and UMBC. As the UMBC Cybersecurity Center prepares for increased participation in the Global Environment of Network Innovation (GENI) campus deployment of SDN also enables UMBC's recently-acquired ExoGeni infrastructure to advance cybersecurity efforts.
