GENI Instrumentation and Measurement Working Group

GENI Instrumentation and Measurement Working Group

Charter

Scope: Discuss, develop and build consensus around the architectural framework for the instrumentation and measurement infrastructure that will be deployed and used in GENI.

Chairs: Paul Barford Bruce Maggs

GPO System Engineer: Harry Mussman

Mail list: mail to inst-meas-wg@geni.net / subscribe / mailman archive

Objectives:

Create an architecture for measurement that enables GENI goals to be achieved, document and refine
Facilitate dialog and coordination between teams focussed on I&M
Identify key challenges in I&M that could otherwise inhibit the infrastructure
Solicit feedback from users
Communicate via mailing list, wiki, GECs

Announcements

Meeting Minutes and Presentations

GENI Measurement Workshop, UW-Madison, 26 June, 2009

2nd GENI Instrumentation and Measurement Workshop, June 8 - 9, 2010

3rd Instrumentation and Measurement Workshop at the GEC-9, Tuesday, November 2, 9:00am - 12noon, Agenda and Notes

Work-in-Progress

GENI I&M Capabilities Catalog

A v0.1 DRAFT has been completed by the GPO, and includes overview slides, a spreadsheet of the catalog, and drawings from referenced projects.

This document reviews each current GENI I&M project, and other selected projects, and lists:

Architecture components addressed or implemented
Implementations in GENI, or elsewhere
Uses in GENI, or elsewhere

The purpose is to:

Identify projects that can best contribute to architecture topics
Identify projects that can implement enhanced GENI capabilities in Spiral 2

GENI I&M Architecture Document

A v0.1 DRAFT has been completed by the GPO, and includes the document with a configuration drawing
It was reviewed at the GEC7 WG meeting, and the following priority topics were identified and confirmed.

A v0.5 DRAFT? is in preparation by the GPO, and includes input from the 2nd I&M Workshop

Vision for GENI I&M (per Barford on 11/18/09)
instrumentation and measurement systems provide broad data gathering, analysis and archieval capability
sufficient for scientific mission
sufficient for operations
key for success of the infrastructure

Requirementsfor for GENI I&M (initial view) (per Barford on 11/18/09)
measure details of GENI behavior with high precision and accuracy
no impact on experiments
ubiquitous
extensible
large capacity
high availability
resilient
strong access control
tight integration with CFs

Conceptual strawman (per Barford on 11/18/09)
instrumentation - taps in the metwork and systems that provide basic signals
collection and synthesis - programmable systems that collect, combine and transform basic signals
archieve - measurement data index and repository

DatCat project, that provides a catalog that indexes Internet measurement data, which you can then find, annotate, and cite.
