Abstract:
Advanced networks are giving rise to a new kind of collaborative laboratory, or collaboratory, comprised of scientists in far-flung locations working together and sharing information as if in the same room, in real time, and aided by high-resolution imagery and high-definition (HD) video conferencing.
From 2002-2008, a global team of researchers and networking engineers has been building the OptIPuter, a NSF-funded initiative to dynamically configure a distributed computational facility, where the optical network becomes the “backplane” connecting high-end computing, storage and visualization resources.
The OptIPlanet Collaboratory is now being built through the deployment of OptIPuter-developed tools to global user communities. Currently 33 sites around the world are part of this collaboratory (see www.evl.uic.edu/cavern/optiplanet).
For the Bandwidth Challenge, we intend to demonstrate global visualcasting – a technique for leveraging high performance networking and computing to enable distributed collaborative visualization at extremely high resolution on OptIPortals.
