LBNL Booth 2448, ESnet roundtable discussions Inder Monga, Advanced Network Technologies Group, ESnet, will lead a roundtable discussion on: On-demand Secure Circuits and Advance Reservation System (OSCARS), 1-2 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 17

Many of the demos at SC10 are being carried by OSCARS

virtual circuits developed by ESnet with DOE support.

OSCARS enables networks to reserve and schedule

virtual circuits that provide bandwidth and service

guarantees to support large-scale science collabora-

tions. In the first quarter of 2011, ESnet expects to

unveil OSCARS 0.6, which will offer vastly expanded

capabilities, such as a modular architecture allowing

for easy plug and play of the various functional

modules and a flexible path computation engine (PCE)

workflow architecture. Adoption of OSCARS has been

accelerating as 2010 has seen deployments at Internet2

and other domestic and international research and

education networks. Since last year, ESnet saw a 30%

increase in the use of virtual circuits. OSCARS virtual

circuits now carry over 50% of ESnet’s monthly

production traffic. Increased use of virtual circuits was

a major factor enabling ESnet to easily handle a nearly

300% rise in traffic from June 2009 to May 2010.

Brian Tierney, Advanced Network Technologies Group, ESnet, will lead a roundtable discussion on: ARRA-funded Advanced Network-ing Initiative (ANI) Testbed, 2-3 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 17

The research and education community’s needs for

managing and transferring data are exploding in scope

and complexity. In 2009 the DOE Office of Science

awarded ESnet $62 million in Recovery Act funds to

create the Advanced Networking Initiative (ANI). This

next-generation, 100 Gbps network will connect DOE’s

largest unclassified supercomputers. ANI is also

establishing a high performance, reconfigurable

network testbed for researchers to experiment with

advanced networking concepts and protocols. ESnet

has now opened the testbed to researchers. A variety

of experiments pushing the boundaries of current

network technology are underway. Another round of

proposals are in the offing. The testbed will be moving

from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to ESnet’s

dark fiber ring at Long Island (LIMAN: Long Island

Metropolitan Area Network) in January 2011 and

eventually the 100 Gbps national prototype network

ESnet is building to accelerate deployment of 100 Gbps

technologies and provide a platform for the DOE

experimental facilities at Oak Ridge National Labora-

tory and the Magellan resources at at the National

Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC)

and Argonne National Laboratory.

Birds of a Feather Session, Room 278-279Jon Dugan, ESnet, will lead a BoF on network measurement at 12:15-1:15 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 18

Networks are critical to high performance computing;

they play a crucial role inside compute systems, within

the data center, to connect to remote resources, and

for communicating with collaborators and remote

sites. Optimal performance is imperative, but in order

to achieve it, it is necessary to accurately measure

networks to understand their behavior and perfor-

mance. This BoF will include presentations from various

experts in network performance measurement and

analysis as well as time for questions, discussion, and

impromptu presentations. Potential topics will include

(but are not limited to) measurement tools (Iperf, nuttcp,

OWAMP, etc), measurement frameworks (perfSONAR,

BWCTL, etc), emerging standards (NWMG, GGF

standards, etc), and current research.

Where is ESnet?

ESnet is also supporting the following demos:

Live Demo: Virtual On Demand ClustersLBNL booth 2448, 11 a.m., Wednesday, Nov. 17

This demonstration illustrates how “hardware as a

service, ” where computing resources are provisioned

as needed, could be quickly deployed to meet the

computing demands of scientific researchers.

Research Sandbox: Next Generation Wide Area File Transfer SystemCaltech CACR booth 2713, Ongoing daily.

The high-energy physics team at the California Institute

of Technology (Caltech) booth will demonstrate global

data distribution, transport of real LHC data, analysis in

real-time of 7 TeV events, and visualization of LHC

proton-proton collisions in a new energy region. ESnet

is supporting the Caltech demo along with StarLight,

SCinet, CERN, NLR, Internet2, SURFNet, CIENA, Mella-

nox, Cisco, Force10, and others.

Research Sandbox: Data Intensive Computing Environment/Obsidian Strategics SCinet Sandbox Project (DOS3) DICE-Avetech booth 1149, Ongoing daily

The Data Intensive Computing Environment (DICE)/

Obsidian Strategics SCinet Sandbox Project will focus

the performance of applications over a wide area

InfiniBand network from three separate sites to the

conference floor at SC2010 in New Orleans. Data will

traverse a 10 Gbps OSCARS circuit from Lawrence

Livermore National Laboratory over ESnet’s Science

Data Network (SDN) to the show floor in New Orleans.

StarGate SDSC booth 2239, 2-4 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 16, 10 a.m.-12 p.m., Wednesday, Thursday, Nov. 17-18 (times subject to change)

Resources at Argonne National Laboratory will be used

to generate data for a visualization of cosmology data

in the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) booth.

The data for the demonstration will be carried to a

display wall in the SDSC booth from ANL by a 10Gbps

virtual circuit reserved using ESnet’s OSCARS and

carried on SDN. SDSC scientists will stream analysis

results of massive data sets that simulate the cosmic

structures of the early universe.

100G is realInternet2 booth 3539, Ongoing daily

The next-generation, 100 GigE-enabled Internet2

network will begin deployment in early 2011. Three

optical vendors—Ciena, Cisco, and Infinera—are

collaborating on a first-ever demonstration of 100 GigE

interoperability testing. The 100 Gbps circuit on the

show floor is expected to carry the Stargate Demo.

NASA, NOAA, ESnet, the Dutch Research Consortium,

US LHCNet, and CANARIE will provide 100 Gbps of

science data between Chicago and New Orleans to

showcase the possibilities enabled by this cutting-edge

network technology. Internet2 will use perfSONAR-PS

network performance monitoring software, another

ESnet collaboration, to provide real-time traffic flow

visualization on the full 100GigE circuit.

Live Demo: Scientific Computing with Remote Direct Memory Access over Ethernet (RDMAoE)Argonne booth 2513, 2-4 p.m. Tuesday Nov. 16, 10-2 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 17 (times subject to change)

Researchers from the Argonne National Laboratory, Ohio

State University and Lawrence Berkeley National

Laboratory will use the wide-area RDMAoE (remote

direct memory access) plugin for GridFTP to move

climate simulations between two sites—the Magellan

system at NERSC at Lawrence Berkeley National

Laboratory in California and a high-performance cluster

in the Mathematics and Computer Science Division at

Argonne National Laboratory in Illinoisl. The data will

travel more than 1,800 miles between Argonne and

NERSC on the Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Science

Data Network (SDN), a high-speed network optimized

moving for large scientific datasets. For this demo, the

SDN circuit has been reserved and provisioned with

ESnet’s OSCARS. The climate community hopes to use

this technology to leverage ESnet’s Recovery Act-funded

Advanced Networking Initiative, a prototype scientific

network that can operate at 100 Gbps per second.

Technical Paper: A Flexible Reservation Algorithm for Advance Network ProvisioningCommunication-Centric Computing, Room 391-392, 4:30-5 p.m., Tuesday Nov. 16 Authors: Mehmet Balman, Evangelos Chaniotakis, Arie Shoshani, Alex Sim

Network reservation systems such as ESnet’s OSCARS

establish guaranteed bandwidth of secure virtual circuits

for a certain bandwidth and length of time. However,

users currently cannot inquire about bandwidth avail-

ability nor get alternative suggestions when reserva-

tion requests fail. The presenters offer a novel approach

for path finding in time-dependent networks taking

advantage of user-provided parameters of total volume

and time constraints, which produces options for

earliest completion and shortest duration.

Each year, ESnet, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Sciences Network, plays a key role in the dynamic

computing and networking environment at SC conferences and SC10 is no different. ESnet personnel are key

players in the SCinet Network Operations Center and for the second year in the row, SC10 is using OSCARS,

ESnet’s On-demand Secure Circuits And Reservation System virtual circuits to carry traffic between booths on the

show floor. The OSCARS software provides the basis for the Internet2, NorthernLight, and LONI dynamic circuit

services and will be widely deployed as part of the DYNES project.

This guide shows where you can find ESnet at SC10, and provides locations of demos ESnet is supporting.
