    2020
    21 The [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GEMINI  GEMINI project] is developing an instrumentation and measurement framework, capable of supporting the needs of both GENI experimenters and GENI infrastructure operators. Currently, it includes functionality from two recent GENI projects: INSTOOLS and LAMP.  (LAMP is based on the perfSONAR system, modified for use in the GENI environment.) GEMINI will collect and manage both substrate metrics and active network measurements.

    23 This session will introduce the GEMINI instrumentation and measurement (I&M) tools and show how to instrument an experiment that is executed on an InstaGENI/ProtoGENI slice.  [[BR]]

    25 After successfully finishing the tutorial, attendees should be able to instrument their own InstaGENI/ProtoGENI-based experiments. [[BR]]
     25Version 1.0 of the GEMINI tools included functionality from two recent GENI projects: INSTOOLS and LAMP.  (LAMP is based on the perfSONAR system, modified for use in the GENI environment.)   A tutorial using GEMINI v1.0 was presented at GEC14.
     26
     27A GEMINI "target architecture" has been defined, which will unify gathering substrate metrics and active network measurements, and present them using a more-capable portal. 
     28
     29GEMINI version 1.1 takes the first step towards a GEMINI "target architecture", by using it to gather substrate metrics, which are then presented via an extended GEMINI portal.  This session will use the GEMINI v1.1 tools, and show how to instrument a basic experiment that is executed on an InstaGENI/ProtoGENI slice.  [[BR]]
