Chicago/International OptIPuter Infrastructure
  • Tom DeFanti
  • OptIPuter Co-PI
  • Distinguished Professor of Computer Science
  • Director, Electronic Visualization Laboratory
  • University of Illinois, Chicago (UIC)

UIC Campus-Scale OptIPuter
  • Mod 0 OptIPuter is based on IA-32 connected by
    routers (--gtPhil P.).
  • Mod 1 OptIPuter is based on IA-32 with dual
    network interface cards
  • SMF NICs-gt 64x64 Glimmerglass Reflexion MEMS
    optical switch for data.
  • MMF/Copper NICs-gt GE electronic routers for
    control.
  • All computing, visualization, storage and network
    equipment bought through NSF infrastructure
    grants to Electronic Visualization Laboratory
    (EVL) and the Laboratory for Advanced Computing
    (LAC).
  • 16GE achieved between EVL and LAC using two
    Optera DWDM devices (valued at 1,000,000)
    provided by Nortel Networks, Inc. to light up
    fiber provided by the UIC Academic Computing and
    Communications Center.
  • Mod 0 and 1 OptIPuter clusters are now being used
    for applications.
  • A shippable Road Warrior OptIPuter (a.k.a. Mad
    Max) for SC03 and AGU, etc.

Chicago Metro-Scale OptIPuter
  • EVL and NU use I-WIRE and OMNInet Fiber to
    connect clusters
  • OMNInet is a 10GE Metro-Scale Testbed (Joe
    Mambretti).
  • I-WIRE is State of Illinois Initiative.

Year Two Chicago OptIPuter Tech
  • Mod 0 1 versions will be Packaged, Distributed
    and Supported
  • Through the Geowall Consortium (www.geowall.org).
  • HP zx2000 McKinley Itanium was Evaluated for Mod
    2 use
  • The zx2000 can sustain 2x1GE.
  • However, the target for Year 2 is 3x1GE.
  • Madison Itanium2, IBM G5, and AMD Opteron 64-bit
    Cluster Components will be Wvaluated for Mod 2
    OptIPuter use with respect to
  • 10GE network interface cards.
  • AGP 8x graphics driving new 30Mpixel Geowall2
    displays.
  • Disk Access.
  • Applications software.

Year Two Towards Regional-Scale and
National-Scale OptIPuters
  • UIC/NU will install a large Force10 10GE
    Electronic Switch and the 128x128 Calient Optical
    Switch at StarLight in October
  • Connecting GE and 10GE metro, regional, national
    and international research networks and lambdas.
  • The Midwest Regional-Scale OptIPuter Sites in
    Discussion
  • Argonne/University of Chicago Computational
    Institute via I-WIRE.
  • Indiana University/Purdue via I-Light to
    StarLight.
  • The University of Wisconsin-Madison and the
    University of Michigan are bringing wavelengths
    into StarLightseveral ongoing projects.
  • The National-Scale OptIPuter
  • NU/UIC will help the National Lambda Rail (NLR)
    bring lambdas to StarLight.
  • NLR will connect the SoCal OptIPuter via CENICs
    CalREN-HPR.
  • Leverages International-scale OptIPuter
    Development over TransLight
