4. Roadmap for Spiral 2

4.1 Goals

The following goals have been established by the GPO for Spiral 2.

Goal 1: Live experiments, the central goal of Spiral 2. Support significant numbers of research experiments in the end-to-end prototype systems. The GPO expects live experimentation to begin near the end of Spiral 1, which will intensify through Spiral 2 as we begin continuous operation of the prototype systems. This will begin to give us all substantial (early) operational experience, as these experiments will help us all understand the prototypes' strengths and weakness, which will drive our Spiral 3 goals.
Goal 2: Identity management
Goal 3: Improved integration of data & control planes, within clusters
Goal 4: Instrumentation
Goal 5: Interoperability, permitting clusters to access the widest number of aggregate

4.2 Key Dates

Begin 9/1/09 or 10/1/09, depending on the project
ORCA Rel 1.3 10/1/2009
GEC6 11/16/09
ORCA Rel 2.1 2/1/10
GEC7 3/16/10
ORCA Rel 2.2 6/1/10
GEC8 7/20/10
End 8/31/10 or 9/30/10, depending on the project
ORCA Rel 2.3 10/1/10

4.3 ORCA Software Releases

4.3.1 Roadmap

The ORCA software releases are currently scheduled for every 4 mo. , and include work done by both Solicitation 1 (1582) and Solicitation 2 (1700) ORCA projects.

ORCA Rel 1.3 10/1/2009
ORCA Rel 2.1 2/1/10
ORCA Rel 2.2 6/1/10
ORCA Rel 2.3 10/1/10

The following roadmap describes features and capabilities of ORCA software releases.

4.3.2 Status

1) For latest status, go to GENI - ORCA, web site maintained by RENCI, including ORCA code and ticketing system or contact Ilia Baldine Ilia Baldine at RENCI

4.3.3 Issues

1) Revoking / Canceling Leases
With ORCA, is there a method for leases to be canceled, or for outstanding requests to be revoked? This is required, or at least very highly desired, for DOME. Some scenarios:

  • An experiment is started on the buses and the researcher

begins getting erroneous results, or the experiment starts generating too much data (this happens). We'd like to be able to prematurely terminate a lease to stop the experiment, even if the allocated resources are not returned to the pool.

  • An experiment is scheduled for the future, but then the

researcher discovers he or she wants to change the experiment or alter the time.
Obviously, there are many other scenarios that make the functionality desirable.

4.4 Cluster D Operating Capabilities and Clearinghouse

4.4.1 Roadmap

The following roadmap describes features and capabilities of the Cluster D operating environment, including a production-level Cluster D clearinghouse.
