= GEC 10 GENICloud/iGENI/GLab/Seattle Demonstration =

This page is a description of the joint demonstration of GENICloud/iGENI/GLab/Seattle projects at GEC-10

= Overall Concept and Goal = 

The goal of this demonstration is to show the interoperation of multiple clouds managed by the GENICloud manager, with advanced connectivity provided by iGENI, a programming environment provided by Seattle, and an application largely written by GLab.   The clouds will be provided by Northwestern University, HP Labs, GLab participants.  It is hoped that others will also provide cloud resources.  Finally, we would like the selected application to be visually compelling and useful to the community.

= Initial Plan (Strawman) = 

Intercontinental !MapReduce on distributed Internet repository data.  This was one idea that came out of the Brussels Workshop on EU/US collaboration in Internet research.  Failing this (the key here will be getting hold of the respositories), we will start with an intercontinental !TeraSort.  Note that this plan is subject to veto, but we need to converge on a demo plan very quickly (by mid-December).

Please feel free to change this -- this is something to get us started, not dictate what we're going to do.  If we follow this, the plan should look something like this:

||Task||Owner||Purpose||Due||
||Finalize Demo application||all||Obvious||December 15||
||German cluster identified and our use authorized||Paul||Need European cluster||December 15||
||Northwestern cluster under GENICloud management||Joe|| || December 15||

||!OpenCirrus paperwork to everyone||Rick and Jessica|| || December 8||
||!OpenCirrus accounts obtained by everyone||all|| || December 15 ||
||Connectivity plan for transatlantic connection||Joe|| || January 15 ||
||German cluster under GENICloud Management||Rick, Marco, Andy, Paul|| || January 15||
||Access to repositories finalized||Rick and Jessica|| || January  15||
