  1. Scaling-Up the BIRN “Building on the BIRN” Workshop National Institutes of Health Bethesda, MD March 22, 2004 Dr. Larry Smarr Director, California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technologies Harry E. Gruber Professor, Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering Jacobs School of Engineering, UCSD

  2. BIRN is a BISTI Leadership Project for the National Institutes of Health • Biomedical Information Science and Technology Initiative • BISTI Report to NIH Director: June 1999 • Interdisciplinary Teams • Collaborating to Develop Mathematical Models, Write Software and Adapt Systems • Cooperation with Computer Science in: • Algorithm, Software, Database and System Development • Improved Access to Computing • Shared PC Clusters in Biomedical Laboratories to High-Performance Systems in National Centers • Workforce Development to Encompasses Every Level • Technician to Ph.D. • New Centers for Research and Teaching • People Competent in Biomedicine and Computation & Mathematics Botstein-Smarr Report June 1999 www.nih.gov/about/director/060399.htm

  5. Data Intensive e-Science Will Require Common Cross-Agency Cyberinfrastructure

  6. The OptIPuter Project – Removing Bandwidth as an Obstacle In Data Intensive Sciences • NSF Large Information Technology Research Proposal • Cal-(IT)2 and UIC Lead Campuses—Larry Smarr PI • Co-PIs Mark Ellisman, Phil Papadopoulos, Tom DeFanti, Jason Leigh • USC, SDSU, NW, Texas A&M, Univ. Amsterdam Partnering Campuses • Industrial Partners • IBM, Sun, Telcordia/SAIC, Chiaro Networks, Calient, Glimmerglass • $13.5 Million Over Five Years • Optical IP Streams From Lab Clusters to Large Data Objects NIH Biomedical Informatics NSF EarthScope and ORION Research Network http://ncmir.ucsd.edu/gallery.html siovizcenter.ucsd.edu/library/gallery/shoot1/index.shtml

  7. What is the OptIPuter?Next Generation Cyberinfrastructure • Applications Drivers  Interactive Large Data Objects • OptIPuter Nodes  Scalable PC Cluster LambdaGrid “Browser” • IP over Lambda Connectivity Predictable Network • Open Source LambdaGrid Middleware Can Reserve Network • Data Retrieval and Mining  Global Virtual Disk Drives • High Def Visualization, Collaboration  “UltraReality TV”
