San Diego, Calif., July 26, 2010 — Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), the University of Illinois at Chicago, and Northwestern University have received a 3-year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to encourage and enhance digital communication and collaboration between the U.S. and international science and engineering research and education communities. The award was announced at the GENI Engineering Conference, which showcased the NSF-funded research being conducted under the Global Environment for Network Innovations program. The project, known as International Research Network Connections (IRNC) TransLight/StarLight, will enable multi-national collaborations by integrating high-performance networks with advanced data-intensive applications so that scientists and engineers can communicate with colleagues while simultaneously conducting major research projects.

Cyberport is excited to bring you the world’s most innovative motion picture communications technology – the first CineGrid 4K  live streaming demonstration ever shown in Hong Kong. CineGrid co-founders are invited to give the demonstration and explain how their members can cooperate to stream very high quality digital media content “on demand” to Cyberport from different parts of the world.
Experts from NTT Network Innovation Laboratories, who are CineGrid founding members, will also demonstrate how even the live output from next generation 4K/60P digital cameras - with four times the resolution and twice the frame rate of standard HDTV - can be transmitted live over Gigabit networks in real time, at very high quality using JPEG 2000, the same compression technology used for digital cinema distribution to theatres.

 Doctors and researchers working to understand how cancer develops and grows have access to a new tool in their arsenal: by using the power of the CANARIE Network, they can now share their findings and access large, sophisticated data sets from other cancer research institutes around the world through the International Cancer Genome Consortium. The ability to quickly transmit these one terabyte data sets - equivalent to the contents of books made from 50,000 trees - enables Canadian cancer researchers to accelerate their research about a disease that will afflict 40% of women and 45% of men during their lifetimes.

 Tom Kalil and Aneesh Chopra of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy have proposed a new initiative to spur student innovation to develop "killer apps" for broadband networks. The initiative would involve companies, universities, and students and would take advantage of high-capacity networks such as Internet2 and National LambdaRail. Kalil and Chopra are seeking feedback for their ideas.
The White House blog post is located at http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2010/03/25/role-student-led-innovation-killer-apps-broadband-networks
Thanks to Gary Bachula from CineGrid Member Internet2 for bringing this to our attention.

 The International Conference on Creating, Connecting and Collaborating through Computing (C5), is coming up, hosted by Calit2 in late January.
This conference will be an exciting opportunity for members of the CineGrid community to interact with the collaborative software community.
Registration is quite inexpensive – under $200 (we try to make it very attractive and affordable for students) and the conference is extremely interactive. This will be the first time in five years the conference is held in the USA, and its location is obviously convenient to many CineGrid members.

Opportunities and Challenges at the World Opera In this CineGrid Special Report, Nathan Brock reports on the second annual World Opera Symposium held in Struer, Denmark this May. A group of aspiring singers in the Metropolitan Opera training program sang duets with professional singers under the baton of well-known conductor Niels Muus. After taking pitch from the piano, the conductor launched into the first piece on the program, a duet from Porgy and Bess. With minimal effort, the singers sang the number, with one eye on the conductor and the other on their duet partner. What made this afternoon special? One of the singers was in New York City, and the other was in Denmark. |
