GENI: Terms and Definitions Slice Abstraction for a collection of resources capable of running experiments – An experiment uses resources in a slice – Slices isolate experiments – Experimenters are responsible for their slices Sponsored by the National Science Foundation GENI Introduction www. geni. net 19

Clearinghouse and Aggregates Create & Register Slice credentials users projects slices clearinghouse Aggregate Manager API Researcher Tool - list. Resources - create. Sliver … Aggregate Manager Aggregate Resources • Clearinghouse: Manages users, projects and slices – Standard credentials shared via custom API or new Common CH API – GENI supported accounts: GENI Portal/CH, Planet. Lab CH, Proto. GENI CH • Aggregate: Provides resources to GENI experimenters – Typically owned and managed by an organization – Speaks the GENI AM API – Examples: Planet. Lab, Emulab, GENI Racks on various campuses Sponsored by the National Science Foundation GENI Introduction www. geni. net 20

GENI: Terms and Definitions • A slice : One or more resources provided by an aggregate – E. g. Bare machines, virtual machines, VLANs GENI Rack #3 My slice contains slivers from many aggregates.

Resource Specifications (RSpecs) • RSpecs: Lingua franca for describing and requesting resources – “Machine language” for negotiating resources between experiment and aggregate – Experimenter tools eliminate the need for most experimenters to write or read RSpec <? xml version="1. 0" encoding="UTF-8"? > <rspec xmlns="http: //www. protogeni. net/resources/rspec/2" xmlns: xsi="http: //www. w 3. org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi: schema.
