Applications
Internet2 Applications What are “Internet2 applications”? They deliver qualitative and quantitative improvements in how we conduct research and engage in teaching and learning They require advanced networks to work
Different Disciplines/Contexts Sciences Arts Humanities Health care Business/Law Administration … Library Classroom Clinic Office Laboratory Dorm room …
For example … Remote Collaboration Virtual Room Videoconferencing System (VRVS) & the Access Grid Support multipoint video- conferencing, where distributed reflectors spread computationally expensive responsibility
For example … Science & Engineering High Energy and Nuclear Physics (HENP) Generating multi-petabyte datasets, gigabytes per second per experiment, requires a cascading data storage model, near-zero packet loss per data stream, and a distributed database for end-user data manipulation. Each experiment requires input from hundreds of researchers around the world. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEESGrid) Running hybrid experiments, synchronizing physical and computational experiments. Synchronizing large volumes of data of different types: sensor, video, etc.
For example … Health Sciences 3D Brain Map Visualization of data: real-time MRI, previously stored data, etc. Computational information transferred to supercomputers and used to understand brain functions in real time Very large multi-dimensional, multi-modal, time-varying data sets Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN) Extremely large data sets and repositories Dynamically generate 3D visualizations from medical records Generating 36Gbytes/day, so new models for search, retrieval and analysis will be necessary
