WHAT are Cnsumer Grids? GUNI = Grid User Netwrk Interface Interperable prcedures between user and Grid Submits jbs (with requirements, e.g. data/cpu, time cnstraints, ) Directly via cntrl plane, r middleware GRNI = Grid Resurce Netwrk Interface Resurces can dynamically enter/leave netwrk Annunces prcessing and/r strage resurces Signaling & cntrl interface between NE and netwrk 11
REQUIREMENTS Eg. vide editing: 2Mpx/frame fr HDTV, suppse effect requires 10 flps/px/frame, then evaluating 10 ptins fr 10s clip is 50 Gflps (tday s high perfrmance PC: <5 Gflps/s) Virtual reality: rendering f 3*10 8 plygns/s 10 4 GFlps Online gaming: e.g. Final Fantasy XI: 1.500.000 gamers Multimedia editing 12

SOLUTION: Optical Netwrks Optical Circuit Switching (OCS) cntinuus bit-stream pre-established light-paths shuld be dynamic Optical Burst/Packet Switching (OBS/OPS) chunks f bits, in bursts/packets frwarding based n header a c b b c c e.g. label switching, GMPLS Hybrids d e f f f 14
Pr: Optical Circuit Switching Guaranteed service quality nce set-up (cf. reserved lambda), thus fixed latency, n jitter, etc. Fixed signaling verhead, independent f (large) jb size Cn: Signaling verhead nt acceptable fr relatively small jbs Requires (cmplex) grming if frequent set-up and tear-dwns are t be avided (i.e. if t slw) Less flexible, dynamic than OBS/OPS, cf. light-path set-up and tear-dwn : [7] cites 166ms/switch RSVP-TE speedup needed 15
Pr: Optical Burst/Packet Switching Extremely flexible, dynamic Inherent statistical multiplexing f available bandwidth (ver multiple lambdas) Cn: Packet/Burst header prcessing verhead Requires jb aggregatin if jb size t small cmpared t header verhead Difficult t deliver strict QS guarantees withut 2-way reservatin Technlgy nt that mature 16
Hybrid OCS/OBS Chsing between OCS and OBS depends n Optical technlgy (OBS requires faster switches, burst mde Rx/Tx and regeneratrs, ) Jb sizes: Signaling time Jb transmissin time OBS-based OCS-based Jb size Hybrid architectures can ffer a cmprmise 17
Hybrid OBS/OCS Parallel: chice t either set-up OCS circuit between surce & destinatin, r use OBS Nte: can be verlay, where OBS makes use f OCS cnnectins between OBS ndes 18

WHY grid fr mbile terminals? Rapid imprvements in netwrk bandwidth, cst, and ubiquity cmbined with the security hazards and high ttal cst f wnership f persnal cmputers have created a grwing market fr thin-client cmputing Currently the cncept is mainly applied t wired thin-client cmputing extend twards wireless thin-client cmputing 21
WHAT are W-Thin Clients? The user ends up with wearable interfaces (input and utput) Interfaces get mre lightweight All ther functins are prvide by the wireless netwrked grid 22
REQUIREMENTS Netwrk: always n Terminal: lightweight, lw pwer and flexible, I/O as basic functinality Data: accessible everywhere Prcessing pwer: accessible everywhere Applicatins: thin client enabled in a mbile envirnment (e.g. pwer ptimized, clse t the user, ) 23
Cnclusins Multimedia prcessing is a majr driver fr new grid applicatins Evlutin frm the prfessinal market (Media Grid) twards the hme/ffice (Cnsumer Grid) and mbile market (W-Thin Client Grid) 24
