UCSD Researchers Receive NSF Award to Support Data-Intensive Applications for Advanced Networks, Including CineGrid

Calit2's Dr. Peter Arzberger, principal investigator for the      Pacific Rim Application and Grid Middleware Assembly (PRAGMA),      collaborates with Dr. Jun Murai of Keio University using IRBC networks.

San Diego, Calif., July 26, 2010 — Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), the University of Illinois at Chicago, and Northwestern University have received a 3-year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to encourage and enhance digital communication and collaboration between the U.S. and international science and engineering research and education communities. The award was announced at the GENI Engineering Conference, which showcased the NSF-funded research being conducted under the Global Environment for Network Innovations program.

The project, known as International Research Network Connections (IRNC) TransLight/StarLight, will enable multi-national collaborations by integrating high-performance networks with advanced data-intensive applications so that scientists and engineers can communicate with colleagues while simultaneously conducting major research projects.
