Abstract Research in data-intensive fields is increasingly multi-investigator and multi-campus, depending on ever more rapid access to ultra-large heterogeneous and widely distributed datasets. The Pacific Research Platform (PRP) is a multi-institutional extensible deployment that establishes a science-driven high-capacity data-centric “freeway system.” The PRP spans all 10 campuses of the University of California, as well as the major California private research universities, four supercomputer centers, and several universities outside California. Fifteen multi-campus data-intensive application teams act as drivers of the PRP, providing feedback over the five years to the technical design staff. These application areas include particle physics, astronomy/astrophysics, earth sciences, biomedicine, and scalable multimedia, providing models for many other applications. The PRP partnership extends the NSF-funded campus cyberinfrastructure awards to a regional model that allows high-speed data-intensive networking, facilitating researchers moving data between their labs and their collaborators’ sites, supercomputer centers or data repositories, and enabling that data to traverse multiple heterogeneous networks without performance degradation over campus, regional, national, and international distances.

Vision: Creating a Pacific Research Platform Use Lightpaths to Connect All Data Generators and Consumers, Creating a “Big Data” Freeway System Using CENIC/Pacific Wave as a 100Gbps Backplane Integrated With High-Performance Global Networks “The Bisection Bandwidth of a Cluster Interconnect, but Deployed on a 20-Campus Scale.” This Vision Has Been Building for 15 Years

DOE ESnet’s Science DMZ: A Scalable Network Design Model for Optimizing Science Data Transfers A Science DMZ integrates 4 key concepts into a unified whole: –A network architecture designed for high-performance applications, with the science network distinct from the general-purpose network –The use of dedicated systems for data transfer –Performance measurement and network testing systems that are regularly used to characterize and troubleshoot the network –Security policies and enforcement mechanisms that are tailored for high performance science environments Science DMZ Coined 2010 The DOE ESnet Science DMZ and the NSF “Campus Bridging” Taskforce Report Formed the Basis for the NSF Campus Cyberinfrastructure Network Infrastructure and Engineering (CC-NIE) Program

What About the Cloud? PRP Connects with the 2 NSF Experimental Cloud Grants –Chameleon Through Chicago –CloudLab Through Clemson CENIC/PW Has Multiple 10Gbps into Amazon Web Services –First 10Gbps Connection 5-10 Years Ago –Today, Seven 10Gbps Paths Plus a 100Gbps Path –Peak Usage is <10% –Lots of Room for Experimenting with Big Data –Interest from Microsoft and Google as well Clouds Useful for Lots of Small Data No Business Model for Small Amounts of Really Big Data Also Very High Financial Barriers to Exit See Kate Keahey, University of Chicago, Talk on Chameleon in Session 1 Next

PRP Timeline PRPv1 (Years 1 and 2) –A Layer 3 System –Completed In 2 Years –Tested, Measured, Optimized, With Multi-domain Science Data –Bring Many Of Our Science Teams Up –Each Community Thus Will Have Its Own Certificate-Based Access To its Specific Federated Data Infrastructure. PRPv2 (Years 3 to 5) –Advanced IPv6-Only Version with Robust Security Features –e.g. Trusted Platform Module Hardware and SDN/SDX Software –Develop Means to Operate a Shared Federation of Caches –Support Rates up to 100Gb/s in Bursts And Streams –Experiment With Science Drivers Requiring >100Gbps More on SDN/SDX in Session 3 Today Beyond 100Gbps in Session 2 Today

Why is PRPv1 Layer 3 Instead of Layer 2 like PRPv0? In the OptIPuter Timeframe, with Rare Exceptions, Routers Could Not Route at 10Gbps, But Could Switch at 10Gbps. Hence for Performance, L2 was Preferred. Today Routers Can Route at 100Gps Without Performance Degradation. Our Prism Arista Switch Routes at 40Gbps Without Dropping Packets or Impacting Performance. The Biggest Advantage of L3 is Scalability via Information Hiding. Details of the End- to-End Pathways are Not Needed, Simplifying the Workload of the Engineering Staff. Also Advantage of L3 is Engineered Path Redundancy within the Transport Network. Thus, a 100Gbps Routed Layer3 Backbone Architecture Has Many Advantages: –A Routed Layer3 Architecture Allows the Backbone to Stay Simple - Big, Fast, and Clean. –Campuses can Use the Connection Without Significant Effort and Complexity on the End Hosts. –Network Operators do not Need to Focus on Getting Layer 2 to Work and Later Diagnosing End-to- End Problems with Less Than Good Visibility. –This Leaves Us Free to Focus on the Applications on The Edges, on The Science Outcomes, and Less on The Backbone Network Itself. These points from Eli Dart, John Hess, Phil Papadopoulos, Ron Johnson, and others
