Outline
Introduction of NCDM / LAC
Introduction of UDT
Demos of UDT in SC2004
Request and Comment for JGN2 /
APAN on SC2004
Introduction to NCDM/LAC
 NCDM: National Center for Data Mining
– UIC: University of Illinois of Chicago
– Standard development, Data Mining and Predictive
modeling
– organized into laboratories
 LAC: Laboratory for Advanced Computing
 LAC/UIC activities
– data intensive computing
– distributed computing
– high performance computing and networking : UDT
TCP and AIMD
 TCP has been very successful in the Internet
– AIMD (Additive Increase Multiplicative
Decrease)
 Fair: max-min fairness
 Stable: globally asynchronously stable
 But, inefficient and not scalable
– over high-speed wide area network
 RTT bias
UDT – UDP-based Data Transfer Protocol
Application level transport protocol built
above UDP
Reliable data delivery
Congestion control mechanisms
General transport API; not a (file transfer)
tool.
Open source
UDT - Objectives
Goals
– Easy to install and use
– Efficient for bulk data transfer
– Fair
– Friendly to TCP
Non-goals
– TCP replacement
– Messaging service

Demos of UDT in SC2004
Tokyo -------------- SC04
– Disk-to-Disk Transmission (1.5 Terabytes)
– Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data
– Two Pair of machines
SC04 --------------- Amsterdam/Tokyo
– Memory-to-Memory Transmission
– Pseudo data
– Parallel flows
Results of Demos in SC2004
 1.6Gbps real data file transfer between
Pittsburgh and Tokyo.
 16Gbps memory data transfer in and out
Pittsburgh from/to Tokyo and Amsterdam.
 Winner of one of the bandwidth challenge
awards
– Best replacement of FedEx / UDP fairness award
JGN2 Link
Request and Comment for usage of
network on SC2004
 Introduction of the Reservation System
via web (not via e-mail)
We appreciate for the strong support and
cooperation during SC2004 and our ongoing collaboration work.
Thank you ...
