Resource Allocation Tools Sponsored by the National Science Foundation March 19, 2013 5
Resource Allocation Tools GENI Experimenter Portal • Uses GENI AM API to manage resources – Currently 7 aggregates (Exo. GENI, Insta. GENI, Proto. GENI) • Point-and-click web-based UI – Not particularly “graphical” or “visual” • Good introductory tool – Makes easy things easy, hard things possible • Capable of any web-based presentation – Topology visualization – RSpec construction (visual, textual) – Tool/portal integration or linking • Limited capabilites – No topology embedding; one aggregate at a time Sponsored by the National Science Foundation March 19, 2013 6
Resource Allocation Tools Looking ahead • There is room for many resource assignment tools – They fill different niches: beginners, advanced users, scriptable, adaptive • Innovation is important – Borrow ideas from others, let experimenters vote with their feet • Standards are key – Allow access to all aggregates from all tools – Construct/embed with one tool, view/modify with another Sponsored by the National Science Foundation March 19, 2013 7
