The long-term vision of this project is the deployment for
magnetic fusion research of a robust and reliable QoS capability
for networks, CPU, and storage resources that is routinely used during
experimental operation. The project will create and deploy a Network QoS
infrastructure that will enable more efficient utilization of existing
experimental facilities. Such a Network QoS capability will represent a
dramatic shift for the fusion community. Presently, computational
resources for quasi real-time data analysis in support of experimental
operation are limited to local dedicated systems. The Network QoS
infrastructure will allow very large remote resources to be shared for
this analysis, thereby allowing presently unimaginable fusion-specific
scientific problems to be solved.
This Project is closely coordinated with the ESnet On-demand Secure
Circuits and Advance Reservation Systems, or
OSCARS Project,
that is doing the fundamental network research on QoS.
