4. electronic visualization laboratory, university of illinois at chicago Status JuxtaView - Interface improved to dramatically increase panning/zooming speed Vol-a-Tile - Now integrated with SAGE SAGE - Performance improvements, wide-area deployment and testing to Amsterdam, Korea, Chicago, San Diego, Urbana, Ottawa SAGE-UI - Includes ability to post arbitrary images to Walls LambdaCam - Deployed at all tiled display sites SVC - Successfully tested at iGrid OptiStore - Works in standalone (non-network) mode with JuxtaView; filters multi-resolution data; spatial querying now possible. Bplayer - Integration with SAGE enabled network streaming to walls as well as stereo projectors LambdaStream - new version under development & testing (Venkat) LambdaRAM - new version being integrated with JuxtaView (Venkat) PDC 2.0 - Advanced Reservation via Web portal & MySQL DB; Part of Optiputer Gold Roll; Added command set to control Nortel encryption. PIN - Extending advanced reservation to interdomain; developing simulations now to compare algorithms

5. electronic visualization laboratory, university of illinois at chicago Overarching Future Goal SAGE is now the “Web Browser” for Optiputer Tiled Displays bringing in high resolution rendering resources & video. Create 1 end-to-end pipeline that allows users to: –Launch existing demos to confirm operability –Add new data sets to actually use in their research –Participate in Optiputer collaboration sessions & experiments Pipeline should use resources at CALIT2, StarLight that can be declared as PERSISTENT. Ie have Optistore and LambdaRAM running 24/7 to provide access to all available data. Identify how the software components need to interact and what components are still missing. Based on NCMIR’s integration of our tools & EVL AHM see scenario.pdf

6. electronic visualization laboratory, university of illinois at chicago Component-Level Future Goals JuxtaView - Integrate with new LambdaRAM / OptiStore Vol-a-Tile - Integrate with new LambdaRAM / OptiStore SAGE - Enable multi-site multicasting SAGE-UI - Allow visualization sessions to appear persistent LambdaCam - No change anticipated SVC - Add audio decoding to SAGE to enable AccessGrid-like conferencing; Examine HD GigE camera integration OptiStore - Extend to network model and integrate with LambdaRAM Bplayer - No change anticipated LambdaStream - see Venkat LambdaRAM - see Venkat PIN / PDC - Compare advanced reservation algorithms; Integrate Zero- Conf Application Programming Interface to enable IP addresses on OptIPuter nodes to be dynamically assigned

7. electronic visualization laboratory, university of illinois at chicago Rocks EVL Visualization Roll Integration of EVL software into the Rocks distribution Work done on a 3-node Opteron cluster –Got latest Rocks 32bit OS installed –Got the latest viz packages integrated Created a 'EVL Roll’ –depending on 'Viz Roll', –containing QUANTA, SAGE, and Mplayer, –Available in the Rock CVS server. Successful run of SAGE Developed code for the Rocks management software to maintain the layout of a tiled display

8. electronic visualization laboratory, university of illinois at chicago Future Goals Develop the 64bit version of the rolls Install the Viz+EVL Rocks on –NCMIR 5x4 display –Calit2 11x5 100Mpixels –EVL's 2x2 display Used to develop, maintain, and update the EVL roll

9. electronic visualization laboratory, university of illinois at chicago 2006 PIN Plan Research the performance of advanced reservations in ARC-WA algorithm through simulations. (Jan 2006) Implement Interdomain Algorithms: (1) Aggregated Local Optimal (ALO), (2) Parallel Probe and Global Optimal (PPGO). (Feb 2006) Compare blocking rate, computational complexity and efficiency of the two algorithms through simulations. (Mar 2006) Release a new version of ARPIN/PDC and deploy them in experimental networks. (May 2006) –Globus 4.0 compliance. –Identify needed resources with system admin and collaborative sites. Photonic switches: EVL, Amsterdam and San Diego. Wavelengths: CAVEWAVE, trans-atlantic wavelengths. Clusters. Zero-Conf Application Programming Interface (May 2006) –Try out Freek’s experiments in EVL. –Integrate Zero-Conf into ARPIN-PDC. Integrate with the intelligent cluster networking flow managing system to provide flow level Quality of Service to cluster applications. (Dec 2006)
