Abstract

I will describe my research in metacomputer architecture, a term I coined in
1988, in which one builds virtual ensembles of computers, storage, networks,
and visualization devices into an integrated system. Working with a set of
colleagues, I have driven development in this field through national and
international workshops and conferences, including SIGGRAPH,
Supercomputing, and iGrid. Although the vision has remained constant over
nearly two decades, it is only the recent availability of dedicated optical paths,
or lambdas, that has enabled the vision to be realized. These lambdas enable
the Grid program to be completed, in that they add the network elements to the
compute and storage elements which can be discovered, reserved, and
integrated by the Grid middleware to form global LambdaGrids. I will describe
my current research in the four grants in which I am PI or co-PI, OptIPuter,
Quartzite, LOOKING, and CAMERA, which both develop the computer science
of LambdaGrids, but also couple intimately to the application drivers in
biomedical imaging, ocean observatories, and marine microbial metagenomics.

“Imagine sitting in your work place lounge having coffee with some colleagues.
Now imagine that you and your colleagues are still in the same room, but are
separated by a large sheet of glass that does not interfere with your ability to
carry on a clear, two-way conversation. Finally, imagine that you have split the
room into two parts and moved one part 50 miles down the road, without
impairing the quality of your interaction with your friends.”

Gruber Professor, Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering Jacobs School of Engineering, UCSD
  • 2. Abstract I will describe my research in metacomputer architecture, a term I coined in 1988, in which one builds virtual ensembles of computers, storage, networks, and visualization devices into an integrated system. Working with a set of colleagues, I have driven development in this field through national and international workshops and conferences, including SIGGRAPH, Supercomputing, and iGrid. Although the vision has remained constant over nearly two decades, it is only the recent availability of dedicated optical paths, or lambdas, that has enabled the vision to be realized. These lambdas enable the Grid program to be completed, in that they add the network elements to the compute and storage elements which can be discovered, reserved, and integrated by the Grid middleware to form global LambdaGrids. I will describe my current research in the four grants in which I am PI or co-PI, OptIPuter, Quartzite, LOOKING, and CAMERA, which both develop the computer science of LambdaGrids, but also couple intimately to the application drivers in biomedical imaging, ocean observatories, and marine microbial metagenomics.
