This paper reports the implementation of SWIFT, designed to enable testing of a novel network architecture for optical interconnects, optical devices, and real world applications. We describe the design and implementation of the testbed using semisynchronous timing and multiple wavelength striping.
We make a case for planetary computing: accessible, interoperable and extensible end-to-end systems infrastructure to process petabytes of global remote-sensing data for the scientific analysis of environmental action. We discuss some pressing scientific scenarios, survey existing solutions and find them incomplete, and present directions for systems research to help reverse the climate and biodiversity crises.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
