N.E.R.T.Nurturing ECSU Research TalentElizabeth City State University

This program, entitled "Nurturing ECSU Research Talent" focuses on

undergraduate education and undergraduate research experiences. Nurturing these

young researchers is a primary concern. Highest priority is given to providing them

with the guidance and skills to insure their entrance and success in graduate school.

Further, each student learns the fundamentals of scientific research, in a team setting,

under the guidance of a faculty mentor. Program activities are as follows:

1. Student development activities

a) Recruitment of high ability minority students;b) Providing a precollege/summer experience for recruited students;c) Providing research experiences;d) Providing a mentor, graduate school counseling and GRE preparation;e) Providing financial support for students in the form of research

scholarships;f) Providing funds for student travel.

2. Infrastructure activities

a) Enhancement of current computer graphics and operating systemscourses;

b) Development of a new course in computer visualization;c) Establishing a visiting lecture series in computer science;d) Providing UNIX network management support;e) Acquisition of computer equipment appropriate to support of U

research training.

Earth Observing System (EOS) Distributed SpreadSheet

NASA Sponsored

Categories Distributed Computing, Digital Libraries, Collaborative Computing

Vision Provide users with tools to perform advanced visualizations of very largedatasets by the use of Interactive Image Spreadsheets. The Distributed ImageSpreadSheet will provide access to terabyte Mission To Planet Earth (MTPE)archives, remote Earth Observing System (EOS) scientists, distributed toolsand specialized hardware, and metacomputing resources.

Why NREN? The Distributed Image SpreadSheet (DISS) was developed by NASA GoddardSpace Flight Center (GSFC) to provide users with tools to perform advancedvisualizations of very large datasets. This type of tool is essential for scientiststo allow them to analyze the large amount of data produced by next-generationsatellite systems, such as EOS, that are expected to produce from 1 to 2Terabytes of data per day.

Description The Distributed Image SpreadSheet (DISS) was developed by Dr. K.Palaniappan, now at the Univ. of Missouri Columbia (UMC), and Dr. FritzHasler of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). Thd DISS is based on a

high performance compute engine and a user visualization terminal. Thecurrent version of the DISS is available to researchers for evaluation, and isunder continuous development in the Laboratory for Atmospheres atNASA/GSFC and the Computer Engineering and Computer Sciencedepartment at UMC. Network connectivity, testing, and performanceevaluation was provided by the NASA Research and Education Network(NREN) and the Earth Science Data Information System (ESDIS) networkinggroup at GSFC.

DISS is a highly interactive visualization and analysis (visanalysis) tool whichcombines a traditional spreadsheet paradigm with image processing, scientificvisualization, and data archiving functionality. The DISS is a type of scalablevisanalysis tool that is essential for scientists, enabling the analysis of the largeamounts of hyper-image data produced by next generation satellite systems.NASA's contribution to Global Change Research is EOS, which is expected tohave a total data production of 1 to 2 TB/day.

DISS provides users withi tools to perform advanced visualizations of verylarge datasets such as the organization and comparison of almost 12 years ofTotal Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) data. Other sample data sets usedto show the development and evaluation of the functionality of the DISSinclude NOAA Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer, NOAAGeostationary Operational Environmental Satellite, Landsat Thematic Mapper,Special Sensor Microwave/Imager, Airborne Visible and Infrared ImagingSpectrometer, NEXRAD, P3 aircraft radar, and EOS assimilated numericalmodel data produced by Goddard's Data Assimilation Office.

Configuration of the Image Spreadsheet System (non-distributed)

~'A --

Al ft:.MWW -

-- pow

Demonstration:

In June 1997 at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder,Colorado, DISS was demonstrated for the first time at the Global Observation InformationNetwork (GOIN) workshop, a US-Japan bilateral demonstration of information networks.For this demonstration, the user client workstation (a remote visualization terminaloperated at NCAR) accessed data remotely at GSFC (about 1500 miles away) from a highperformance storage system via a high performance WAN. The WAN, connectivityincluded a NASA NREN connection at OC-3 rates to NCAR via a vBNS connection at SanDiego Supercomputing Center at OC-12 rates, and Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI)network interfaces for the server and client.

In September 1997 at NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California, DISS wasdemonstrated using Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) end-to-end for the first time. AnOC-3 connection using NREN's network via the Sprint ATM Cloud was establishedbetween GSFC and Ames for the NREN Workshop. Application performance of the DISSdramatically improved by a factor of ten using ATM end-to-end.

Schedule:

The initial demonstration occurred June 23, 1997, at the NCAR in Boulder, Colorado, aspart of the GOIN US-Japan initiative. A second demonstration at the NREN Workshop 2(September 1997) successfully used ATM end-to-end between GSFC and ARC.

Benefit Distributed visanalysis and high-speed remote access to geophysical dataarchives via .aigh performance networks is critical to the success of NASA'sMission to Planet Earth program. The Goddard ESDIS project collaborateswith the Ames NREN project for the purpose of prototyping EOS DataInformation 3ystem (EOSDIS) applications. The DISS is an EOS applicationthat is expected to be widely used by the EOS community. The DISS tool isimportant to other agencies involved in data analysis and modeling foraeronautics, astrophysics, geophysical studies, environmental monitoring, andmapping. The DISS tool with NREN connectivity facilitates public andcommercial use of meteorological datasets; for example, broadcast weatherservices such as NBC WRC-TV already use NOAA's satellite imageryprocessed by NASA using this system on a daily basis.

Requirements DIS$ has several modes of distributed operations. In one scenario, the uservisualization terminal is remote from the compute engine, and connected via ahigh performance WAN (e.g., NREN) which is used for communicatinggraphics rendering information. In another configuration, the compute engineaccesses remote data over a high performance network using distributed filesystems or direct client-server protocols. These distributed modes of operationmay also be combined and used with Web technologies (e.g., Java). Initialtesting and operation of the DISS will need effective network performance ofat least 100 Mbps. Eventually, the server will have the potential to operate atnear gigabit and higher speeds when pulling in data from multiple remotesources or serving multiple collaborating distributed users.

Networked visual analysis (visanalysis) requirements include:

"* Bandwidth: 50 MB/s access to 100 GB "Redundant Array of IndependentDiscs"

"* Latency: Low latency (< 0.5/second for interactive visualization andresponsiveness)

"* Data: Distributed MTPE datasets and archives"* Collaboration: Distributed Image SpreadSheet visualization with client

and server sharing workload"* Video: Novel virtual environrpents and distribution of multimedia results

Partners and Partners will include other government agencies involved in atmosphericPotential Partners analysis, including NOAA and NCAR.
