Greetings GNA!
To better understand SC24 Conference network needs, the SCinet team would like to get this invite out as far and wide as possible, please forward this to your colleagues!
Each year at the SC Conference, researchers, experimenters, and exhibitors plan large scale demonstrations that connect the host convention center to remote HPC resources around the world. In order to support these often-groundbreaking demonstrations, the conference builds SCinet: a highly sophisticated, cutting edge, high-capacity network. This year the conference will be held in Atlanta Georgia at the Georgia World Congress Center.
The Network Research Exhibition (NRE) and Experimental Networks (XNet) teams, in conjunction with the
Wide Area Network (WAN) Team and the Routing Team are collaborating with networks providers around the world to plan for the requested WAN and LAN connectivity for SC24 demonstrations and experiments.
We are planning potential bandwidth to regional, national, and international exchange points including:
North Atlantic Research and Education Exchange (NA-REX)
Washington Internet Exchange (WIX)
NetherLight
StarLight
TransPAC
CENIC
Pacific Wave
Pacific Northwest Gigapop (PNWG)
AMPath
Potential 100G or 400G circuits to the following cities:
Seattle (Westin, 2001 6th Ave)
Sunnyvale (1380 Kifer Road)
Los Angeles (818 W. 7th (6th floor))
Miami (Nap of the Americas)
Chicago (Starlight)
Boston (Markley - One Summer St)
Atlanta (56 Marietta or 180 Peachtree)
This is in addition to possible planned connectivity to SOX, Internet2 (including AL2S) ESnet, and FABRIC.
We require exhibitors and network entities to identify their Network bandwidth/resource needs between the SC conference and remote locations. Please fill out the following form if you need remote connectivity to the SC24 exhibit floor: https://forms.gle/co5K6ctvPFFnjNcF7
Please have your requests in by May 17th.
