Global Telescience Featuring IPv6

NCMIR, in collaboration with Osaka University and NCHC, is demonstrating a real scientific application utilizing native IPv6 and a mixture of high bandwidth and low latency. This demonstration features a network-enabled end-to-end system for 3D electron tomography that utilizes richly connected resources to remotely control the intermediate-high-voltage electron microscope in San Diego and the ultra-high-voltage electron microscope in Osaka. To provide the highest possible video quality, the Telescience system features digital video over native IPv6 networks.

At iGrid, researchers use high-quality low-latency digital video to navigate around a specimen in a microscope. In addition, data is transferred to and from distributed storage resources, intensive distributed computational jobs are completed, and data-intensive visualizations are performed - all utilizing a Global Grid composed of heterogeneous resources located at: NCMIR, San Diego Supercomputer Center, NASA Ames' Information Power Grid (USA); NCHC (Taiwan); and, Osaka University (Japan).
