Two projects are demonstrated: high-definition stereo video transmission and distributed data grid developments over UCLP (User Controlled LightPath). In the former, high-quality monoscopic and stereoscopic HD1080i video, both uncompressed and compressed, are transmitted between Daejeon, Korea and San Diego, enabling scientists in Korea and the USA to have interactive discussions about the iGrid demonstrations in an HD environment. The distributed data grid project demonstrates tools being designed as a part of the worldwide Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) collaboration for CERN’s Large Hadron Collider program, to come online in 2007. In the CMS demonstration, simulated CMS data is sent to several sites in Korea for analysis and the results are transferred to iGrid for display in real time.

This application is a part of the iGrid demo “World’s First Demonstration of X GRID Application Switching using User Controlled LightPaths.” Lightpath resources are provided by CANARIE and CRC, Canada, and those resources are coordinated with other partners, i2CAT/UPC, Spain and NCHC, Taiwan.
