JuxtaView - 2D image viewer
Vol-a-Tile - 3D volume viewer
SAGE - Manages pixels on tiled displays
SAGE-UI - Handles user-interaction
LambdaCam - Web CAM of what’s on a tiled display
SVC - Scalable Video Consumer - HD camera streaming
Bplayer - NCSA’s HD stereo movie streaming
OptiStore - Storage manager for handling 2D/3D spatial
multi-resolution queries for JuxtaView/Vol-a-Tile
• LambdaStream - UDP-based protocol for streaming
• LambdaRAM - Network memory abstraction
• PIN/PDC - Photonic Interdomain Negotiator / Photonic
Domain Controller

JuxtaView - Interface improved to dramatically increase panning/zooming
speed
Vol-a-Tile - Now integrated with SAGE
SAGE - Performance improvements, wide-area deployment and testing to
Amsterdam, Korea, Chicago, San Diego, Urbana, Ottawa
SAGE-UI - Includes ability to post arbitrary images to Walls
LambdaCam - Deployed at all tiled display sites
SVC - Successfully tested at iGrid
OptiStore - Works in standalone (non-network) mode with JuxtaView; filters
multi-resolution data; spatial querying now possible.
Bplayer - Integration with SAGE enabled network streaming to walls as well as
stereo projectors
LambdaStream - new version under development & testing (Venkat)
LambdaRAM - new version being integrated with JuxtaView (Venkat)
PDC 2.0 - Advanced Reservation via Web portal & MySQL DB; Part of
Optiputer Gold Roll; Added command set to control Nortel encryption.
PIN - Extending advanced reservation to interdomain; developing simulations
now to compare algorithms

Overarching Future Goal
• SAGE is now the “Web Browser” for Optiputer Tiled
Displays bringing in high resolution rendering resources &
video.
• Create 1 end-to-end pipeline that allows users to:
– Launch existing demos to confirm operability
– Add new data sets to actually use in their research
– Participate in Optiputer collaboration sessions & experiments
• Pipeline should use resources at CALIT2, StarLight that
can be declared as PERSISTENT. Ie have Optistore and
LambdaRAM running 24/7 to provide access to all available
data.
• Identify how the software components need to interact and
what components are still missing.
• Based on NCMIR’s integration of our tools & EVL AHM see

JuxtaView - Integrate with new LambdaRAM / OptiStore
Vol-a-Tile - Integrate with new LambdaRAM / OptiStore
SAGE - Enable multi-site multicasting
SAGE-UI - Allow visualization sessions to appear persistent
LambdaCam - No change anticipated
SVC - Add audio decoding to SAGE to enable AccessGrid-like
conferencing; Examine HD GigE camera integration
OptiStore - Extend to network model and integrate with LambdaRAM
Bplayer - No change anticipated
LambdaStream - see Venkat
LambdaRAM - see Venkat
PIN / PDC - Compare advanced reservation algorithms; Integrate ZeroConf Application Programming Interface to enable IP addresses on OptIPuter
nodes to be dynamically assigned

Rocks EVL Visualization Roll
• Integration of EVL software into the Rocks
distribution
• Work done on a 3-node Opteron cluster
– Got latest Rocks 32bit OS installed
– Got the latest viz packages integrated
• Created a 'EVL Roll’
– depending on 'Viz Roll',
– containing QUANTA, SAGE, and Mplayer,
– Available in the Rock CVS server.
• Successful run of SAGE
• Developed code for the Rocks management
software to maintain the layout of a tiled display

Future Goals
• Develop the 64bit version of the rolls
• Install the Viz+EVL Rocks on
– NCMIR 5x4 display
– Calit2 11x5 100Mpixels
– EVL's 2x2 display
• Used to develop, maintain, and update the EVL roll

2006 PIN Plan
•
•
•
•
Research the performance of advanced reservations in ARC-WA algorithm
through simulations. (Jan 2006)
Implement Interdomain Algorithms: (1) Aggregated Local Optimal (ALO), (2)
Parallel Probe and Global Optimal (PPGO). (Feb 2006)
Compare blocking rate, computational complexity and efficiency of the two
algorithms through simulations. (Mar 2006)
Release a new version of ARPIN/PDC and deploy them in experimental
networks. (May 2006)
– Globus 4.0 compliance.
– Identify needed resources with system admin and collaborative sites.
• Photonic switches: EVL, Amsterdam and San Diego.
• Wavelengths: CAVEWAVE, trans-atlantic wavelengths.
• Clusters.
•
Zero-Conf Application Programming Interface (May 2006)
– Try out Freek’s experiments in EVL.
– Integrate Zero-Conf into ARPIN-PDC.
•
Integrate with the intelligent cluster networking flow managing system to provide
flow level Quality of Service to cluster applications. (Dec 2006)
