As data sizes continue to grow, domain scientists continue to struggle to make smart use of the high speed networks avialable to them. In support of this, the US National Science foundation has made three suppplemental awards in order to support advances in support for 100 gigabit networking. The three supplements are:
- International Networks at Indiana University received a supplement to the America Connects to Europe (ACE) award (ACI-0962973) to support end-user science, the use of the Luster distributed file system, and better monioring of 100G networks.
- Mambretti
- Ibarra
In support of these awards, we will be holding a half day workshop to discuss the probelms and capabilities of the 100G testbeds and application use. This workshop is open, but we request that you rsvp to jmschopf@iu.edu if you plan to attend.
Agenda:
