| 16 PCs with Graphics Cards | ||
| 2 Gigabit Networking per PC | ||
| Instrumentation Grids | ||
| Several massive data sources are coming online | ||
| Computational Grids | ||
| HEP and LOFAR analysis needs massive CPU capacity | ||
| Research: dynamic nation wide optical backplane control | ||
| Data (Store) Grids | ||
| Moving and storing HEP, Bio and Health data sets is major challenge | ||
| Visualization Grids | ||
| Data object (TByte sized) inspection, anywhere, anytime | ||
| Costs of optical equipment 10% of switching 10 % of full routing equipment for same throughput | ||
| 10G routerblade -> 100-500 k$, 10G switch port -> 10-20 k$, MEMS port -> 0.7 k$ | ||
| DWDM lasers for long reach expensive, 10-50k$ | ||
| Bottom line: look for a hybrid architecture which serves all classes in a cost effective way ( map A -> L3 , B -> L2 , C -> L1) | ||

Global Lambda Integrated Facility sept 2004
The main objectives of the 2004 meeting
| GLIF Governance and policy | |
| Our small-scale Lambda Workshop is now turning into a global activity. TransLight and similar projects contribute to the infrastructure part of GLIF. A good and well understood governance structure is key to the manageability and success of GLIF. Our prime goal is to decide upon and agree to the GLIF governance and infrastructure usage policy. | |
| GLIF Lambda infrastructure and Lambda exchange implementations | |
| A major function for previous Lambda Workshops was to get the network engineers together to discuss and agree on the topology, connectivity and interfaces of the Lambda facility. Technology developments need to be folded into the architecture and the expected outcome of this meeting is an agreed view on the interfaces and services of Lambda exchanges and a connectivity map of Lambdas for the next year, with a focus on iGrid 2005 and the emerging applications. | |
| Persistent Applications | |
| Key to the success of the GLIF effort is to connect the major applications to the Facility. We, therefore, need a list of prime applications to focus on and a roadmap to work with those applications to get them up to speed. The demonstrations at SC2004 and iGrid 2005 can be determined in this meeting. | |
| Control Plane and Grid Integration | |
| The GLIF can only function if we agree on the interfaces and protocols that talk to each other in the control plane on the contributed Lambda resources. The main players in this field are already meeting, almost on a bi-monthly schedule. Although not essential, this GLIF meeting could also host a breakout session on control plane middleware. |
