Towards Deploying a Science-Driven Regional Interoperable Science DMZ

高性能网络是数据密集型科学的关键推动因素，因为研究人员的合作和数据的共享/访问需要在国家和国际范围内快速传输大量数据。该研讨会的重点是校园“科学DMZ”的区域级互操作性，以便研究人员可以将数据移动到/从他们的实验室和他们的合作者，国家超级计算机中心或数据存储库，穿越多个异构的科学DMZ而不会降低性能。这种能力利用了NSF、DOE和区域网络的大量投资，并将通过推进合作、使大型社区易于访问数据和提高研究人员的生产力来推进数据密集型科学发现。在研究人员通常工作的端点（仪器、计算机、实验室）之间实现高速网络性能一直是一项技术挑战。科学DMZ概念是在校园内消除这些障碍的一个重大进步，异构科学DMZ之间的互操作性是成功解决两端性能的下一个合乎逻辑的步骤。本次研讨会将通过在区域一级短期关注一些具体的科学应用来应对互操作性挑战，同时为扩展到其他应用和机构奠定基础。

High-performance networking is a key enabler of data-intensive science, as researcher collaborations and the sharing/accessibility of data require large, fast transfers of data on a national and international scale. This workshop focuses on regional-level interoperability of campus "Science DMZs", so that researchers can move data to/from their labs and their collaborators, national supercomputer centers or data repositories, traversing multiple, heterogeneous Science DMZs without performance degradation. This capability leverages substantial investments by NSF, DOE and regional networks, and will advance data-intensive scientific discovery by advancing collaborations, making data readily accessible to large communities, and increasing researcher productivity. It has always been a technical challenge to achieve high-speed networking performance between end-points where researchers typically work (instruments, computers, labs). The Science DMZ concept is a major advance in removing these roadblocks within a campus, and interoperability between heterogeneous Science DMZs is the next logical step in successfully addressing performance at both ends. This workshop is to address interoperability challenges by focusing near-term on a few specific scientific applications at a regional level, while laying the foundation for extensibility to other applications and institutions.
