05.06.14 Keynote to the 15th Federation of Earth Science Information Partners Assembly Meeting: Linking Data and Information to Decision Makers Title: The Jump to Light Speed - Data Intensive Earth Sciences are Leading the Way to the International LambdaGrid San Diego, CA

The Pacific Research Platform (PRP) connects research institutions across the western United States with high-speed networks to enable data-intensive science collaborations. Key points: - The PRP connects 15 campuses across California and links to the Great Plains Network, allowing researchers to access remote supercomputers, share large datasets, and collaborate on projects like analyzing data from the Large Hadron Collider. - The PRP utilizes Science DMZ architectures with dedicated data transfer nodes called FIONAs to achieve high-speed transfer of large files. Kubernetes is used to manage distributed storage and computing resources. - Early applications include distributed climate modeling, wildfire science, plankton imaging, and cancer genomics. The PR

The document discusses the need for a new generation of cyberinfrastructure to support interactive global earth observation. It outlines several prototyping projects that are building examples of systems enabling real-time control of remote instruments, remote data access and analysis. These projects are driving the development of an emerging cyber-architecture using web and grid services to link distributed data repositories and simulations.

07.09.12 Invited Talk Invitrogen Title: Living in a World of Nanobioinfotechnology Carlsbad, CA

This document summarizes a lecture given by Dr. Larry Smarr on high performance cyberinfrastructure for data-intensive research. The summary discusses: 1) The need for dedicated high-bandwidth networks separate from the shared internet to enable big data research due to the increasing volume of digital scientific data. 2) Extensions being made to networks like CENIC in California to provide campus "Big Data Freeways" connecting instruments, computing resources, and remote facilities. 3) The use of networks like HPWREN to provide high-performance wireless access for data-intensive applications in rural areas like astronomy, wildfire detection, and more.

The document discusses plans to establish a high-bandwidth optical network connection between the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) in the United States and the Center for Scientific Research and Higher Education of Ensenada (CICESE) in Mexico. It describes several visits and collaborations between the institutions over recent years to develop the connection. The goal is to integrate CICESE into Calit2's global OptIPuter network to enable bandwidth-intensive international research collaborations over dedicated optical lambdas.

05.03.05 Invited Talk to the SIO Council Title: The Emerging Cyberinfrastructure for Earth and Ocean Sciences La Jolla, CA

This document provides an overview of the development of national research platforms (NRPs) from 1985 to the present, with a focus on the Pacific Research Platform (PRP). It describes the evolution of the PRP from early NSF-funded supercomputing centers to today's distributed cyberinfrastructure utilizing optical networking, containers, Kubernetes, and distributed storage. The PRP now connects over 15 universities across the US and internationally to enable data-intensive science and machine learning applications across multiple domains. Going forward, the document discusses plans to further integrate regional networks and partner with new NSF-funded initiatives to develop the next generation of NRPs through 2025.

The Pacific Research Platform (PRP) is a multi-institution hypercluster that connects science DMZs across 25 partner campuses using FIONA data transfer nodes and 10-100Gbps networks. PRP adopted Kubernetes and Rook to orchestrate petabytes of distributed storage and GPUs for data science applications. A CHASE-CI grant added machine learning capabilities. PRP is working to federate with the Open Science Grid and become a prototype for a future National Research Platform connecting regional networks.

05.11.03 Physics Department Colloquium UCSD Title: Physics Research in an Era of Global Cyberinfrastructure La Jolla, CA

The document provides an overview of the Pacific Research Platform (PRP) and discusses its role in connecting researchers across institutions and enabling new applications. It summarizes the PRP's key components like Science DMZs, Data Transfer Nodes (FIONAs), and use of Kubernetes for container management. Several examples are given of how the PRP facilitates high-performance distributed data analysis, access to remote supercomputers, and sensor networks coupled to real-time computing. Upcoming work on machine learning applications and expanding the PRP internationally is also outlined.

Invited Presentation Symposium on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics: Remembering John Wooley National Institutes of Health Bethesda, MD July 29, 2016

The document provides information about an ITIC committee briefing at the Marshall Space Flight Center on November 29, 2012. It discusses the membership and activities of the ITIC committee. It also summarizes presentations and topics discussed at the briefing, including SPoRT weather modeling activities, mobile applications, high performance networking, and opportunities for IT innovation on the International Space Station.

This document summarizes Dr. Larry Smarr's invited talk about the Pacific Research Platform (PRP) given at the San Diego Supercomputer Center in April 2019. The PRP is building a distributed big data machine learning supercomputer by connecting high-performance computing and data resources across multiple universities in California and beyond using high-speed networks. It provides researchers with petascale computing power, distributed storage, and tools like Kubernetes to enable collaborative data-intensive science across institutions.

The document discusses the Pacific Research Platform (PRP), a distributed cyberinfrastructure that connects researchers and data across multiple campuses in California and beyond using optical fiber networking. Key points: - The PRP uses high-speed networking infrastructure like the CENIC network to connect data generators and consumers across 15+ campuses, creating an integrated "big data freeway system". - It deploys specialized data transfer nodes called FIONAs to enable high-speed transfer of large datasets between sites at near the full network speed. - Recent additions include using Kubernetes to orchestrate containers across the PRP infrastructure and integrating machine learning resources through the CHASE-CI grant to support data-intensive AI applications.

- The Pacific Research Platform (PRP) interconnects campus DMZs across multiple institutions to provide high-speed connectivity for data-intensive research. - The PRP utilizes specialized data transfer nodes called FIONAs that provide disk-to-disk transfer speeds of 10-100Gbps. - Early applications of the PRP include distributing telescope data between UC campuses, connecting particle physics experiments to computing resources, and enabling real-time wildfire sensor data analysis.
