4. OptIPuter Hosting on TeraGrid One way to think of TeraGrid is a hosting environment to support virtual OptIPuters OptIPuter can be viewed as an overlay on TeraGrid resources combining a collection of compute, data and visualization resources via optical networking.

5. Super Networks Enable New Applications Database blasting Gimme the whole thing and Ill sort it out at my end On-Demand caching for collaborative analysis Spontaneous large-scale tuple spaces.. minning rabbit trails Streaming tiled-displays (>100 Megapixel displays) Super Access Grid.. Lets watch all the digital streams in parallel Deep images Multiresolution, navigable images, movies, gimme all the versions in all the formats

6. Super Network Applications Trickle charging shared petabyte databases Always up-to-date repositories (mirrors, etc.) Persistent objects and cooperative computation that extend persistent objects Gimme all versions of that object that ever existed (dump the cvs repo) Spontaneous peer-to-peer infrastructure Match the structure of infrastructure to the structure of social networks

7. Super Networks Require New Architectures Super high-bandwidth systems have high concurrency Tbps network @ 100x10 Gpbs, 25x40 Gbps etc. Large bandwidth delay products Non-intuitive chunking, based on compute/bdp Large-granularity in transactions (see previous page) Stream processing architectures Flow oriented services become increasingly important

8. Super Network Architecture Implications Speculation Super Networks create a computing and storage commons Increased used of speculation becomes possible Resource (commons) management Personal infrastructure complexity will become a major SW problem Extensions of OS concepts needed
