Science DMZ

• Developed by ESnet, the Science DMZ concept integrates four key components into a unified whole that together serve as a foundation for this model. These include:– A network architecture explicitly designed for high‐performance applications, where the science network is distinct from the general‐purpose network

– The use of dedicated systems for data transfer– Performance measurement and network testing systems that are regularly used to characterize the network and are available for troubleshooting

– Security policies and enforcement mechanisms that are tailored for high performance science environments

High‐Speed Science Networks – Context 

• Universities, Labs, and other institutions connect using science networks– CENIC (California research institutions, including UC and CSU campuses)– ESnet (Department of Energy National Labs)– Internet2 (interconnects regional networks)– GEANT (interconnects European science networks)

• Science networks are much more capable– Engineered for data‐intensive science

• High‐speed data movement• Advanced services

– Science networks connect with each other to build a fabric• In most cases, no need to traverse commodity Internet for research data• Connect to global Internet as well for global access

What Is Science Engagement?

• Technology specialists working with scientists to improve– Data transfer performance– Data workflows (e.g., to require less human effort)– Experiment operations– …and more…

• Using experience gained from collaborations to improve– Network design– Tool design– System design

Old Model of Science Engagement:Scientist as Integrator

• Requires scientists to…– Discover new technologies– Become expert in new technologies– Assemble distinct technologies into an integrated solution that works for them

• Some scientists do this brilliantly – most do not

New Model of Science Engagement:Scientist as Collaborator

• New team members for “team science.” Technologists…– Understand technology– Understand enough of the science to see how technology fits– Help scientists adopt a useful solution

• Result: much more efficient and productive research outcome

Science Engagement in the PRP

• Identify science collaborations that would benefit from increased access to high‐speed networking

• Help coordinate efforts at different campuses, national labs, supercomputing centers

• Everybody is already doing some of this– Let’s work together, learn from each other– Everyone benefits when multi‐institution collaborations succeed

PRP Science Drivers: Particle Physics

• LHC experiments expect 5x data in next 2 years

• Paradigm shift in data access methods

• Several typical use cases for end‐user physicists– Downloading large roughly‐filtered datasets through Science DMZs on research networks

– Streaming datasets from Tier‐2 sites via xrootd protocol, possibly with local data caching

– Accessing extra CPU power in federated analysis clusters, with all data pulled over WAN

• Main challenges are tuning applications/servers and preparing end users for new workflow

Network demands of collaborative genomics research

• Genomics defines a new order of “BIG”

• Speed of light will not increase  but number of genomic data repositories or distance between them will

• Internet routing is inefficient in its use of network resources

• Internet protocol stack was not designed for BIG DATA transfer over destination‐based paths with large bandwidth delay

• Content‐centric networking offers at least part of a solution…
