Collaborations

Sequoia 2000

The Sequoia 2000 Project aims at building high-speed storage and communication facilities to support global-change scientists at remote sites. It is principally sponsored by Digital Equipment Corporation, and is a collaboration between the University of California at Berkeley, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Davis; the Scripps Institute of Oceanography in San Diego; and the California State Department of Water Resources. An archive holds papers, software, and other documents.

BLANCA/XUNET

BLANCA is one of the five Gigabit Testbeds sponsored by the Corporation for National Research Initiatives. The network for the BLANCA project, XUNET, provides 45 Mbps and 622 Mbps connections between the different sites. The BLANCA and XUNET participants are:

• The University of California at Berkeley (Computer Science Division)
• The University of Wisconsin at Madison
• The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
• The National Center for Supercomputer Applications
• Columbia University, New York
• Rutgers University in New Brunswick
• Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (Imaging and Distributed Computing Group)
• Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (Advanced Telecommunications Program)
• Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore
• AT&T Bell Laboratories

Some of the recent and ongoing research in this testbed project is documented in viewgraphs presented at the 1994 XUNET Student Meeting.

The Bay Area Gigabit Network Testbed

The Bay Area Gigabit Network (BAGnet) is a collaborative effort to provide teleseminar distribution between fourteen academic and research sites in the East and South San Francisco Bay Area. Sponsored by Pacific Bell, this 155 Mbps ATM network is scheduled to become fully operational in Spring 1994.
