    2222The following figure shows two slices created by the research assistant in Project Hactar.  She has added to Slice 1 three compute resources connected by three network links.  She has also added the post-doc associated with her project as a member of her slice.  Her professor was automatically added to her slice as he is the Project Lead.  Slice 2 has two compute resources connected by a link.  She has not added the post-doc as a member of this slice and so he cannot perform any actions on this slice or even view the resources in this slice.   An experiment in Slice 1 can only use resources in Slice 1 and likewise an experiment in Slice 2 can only use resources in Slice 2.

    2828A GENI ''aggregate'' provides resources to GENI experimenters.  For example, a [wiki:GENIRacksHome GENI Rack] at a university is an aggregate; GENI experimenters may request resources from this aggregate and add them to their slice.  Different aggregates provide different kinds of resources.  Some aggregates provide compute resources: Virtual Machines or "bare machines" or both.  Some aggregates provide networking resources that experimenters can use to connect compute resources from multiple aggregates.  The figure below shows a GENI slice with resources from multiple aggregates.
