This proposal will be awarded using funds made available by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5), and meets the requirements established in Section 2 of the White House Memorandum entitled, Ensuring Responsible Spending of Recovery Act Funds, dated March 20, 2009. As globally distributed research teams work more closely to solve complex problems utilizing high-performance cyberinfrastructure, from petascale computers to specialized instrumentation generating massive amounts of data, the need for high-resolution visualization is becoming more critical for analysis, and is propelling the worldwide adoption of "OptIPortals". An OptIPortal is an ultra-resolution visualization display instrument interconnected by optical networks that enables the creation of "cyber-mashups," or juxtapositions, of data visualizations, enabling greater insight. SAGE, the Scalable Adaptive Graphics Environment, is cross-platform middleware that enables users worldwide to have a common operating environment, or framework, for accessing, streaming and juxtaposing high-resolution visualizations on one or more OptIPortals. This project will transition SAGE from a transformative research prototype to a hardened technology that provides production-quality, community-driven open services for visualization and collaboration utilizing shared national and international cyberinfrastructure, for the advancement of scientific research and education.Intellectual MeritCoping with complexity and scale in data is a problem that spans all of e-science. Using OptIPortals and SAGE, scientists can create visualization pipelines from multiple sources - whether supercomputers, data storage systems and/or instruments (such as high-definition cameras), as well as laptop screens and the Web - to access and share a variety of information, in a variety of resolutions and formats, and create giant Cyber-Mashups.Broader ImpactOur Nation already invests in network-connected, middleware-enabled cyberinfrastructure to generate and disseminate petabytes (ultimately exabytes) of data among researchers worldwide. What is missing, however, is a globally integrated collaborative work environment to facilitate data analysis and high productivity. Funding to provide a production-quality SAGE will make cyberinfrastructure more accessible to broader communities of scientists and students, and help maintain US leadership in high-performance computing.

该提案将使用 2009 年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法 111-5）提供的资金进行授予，并符合题为“确保负责任地支出复苏法案资金”的白宫备忘录第 2 节中规定的要求。 2009 年 3 月 20 日。随着分布在全球的研究团队更加紧密地合作，利用高性能网络基础设施（从千万亿级计算机到生成大量数据的专用仪器）来解决复杂问题，对高分辨率可视化的需求对于分析变得越来越重要，并推动“OptIPortals”在全球范围内的采用。 OptIPortal 是一种通过光学网络互连的超分辨率可视化显示仪器，可以创建数据可视化的“网络混搭”或并置，从而获得更深入的洞察。 SAGE（可扩展自适应图形环境）是一种跨平台中间件，使世界各地的用户能够拥有一个通用的操作环境或框架，用于在一个或多个 OptIPortals 上访问、流式传输和并置高分辨率可视化。该项目将 SAGE 从变革性研究原型转变为硬化技术，提供生产质量、社区驱动的开放服务，利用共享的国家和国际网络基础设施进行可视化和协作，以促进科学研究和教育的进步。数据规模是一个涉及整个电子科学的问题。使用 OptIPortals 和 SAGE，科学家可以从多个来源创建可视化管道 - 无论是超级计算机、数据存储系统和/或仪器（例如高清相机），以及笔记本电脑屏幕和 Web - 来访问和共享各种信息，以各种分辨率和格式，并创建巨大的网络混搭。更广泛的影响我们的国家已经投资于网络连接、支持中间件的网络基础设施，以生成和传播 PB 级数据（最终全球研究人员之间的数据（艾字节）。然而，缺少的是一个全球集成的协作工作环境来促进数据分析和高生产力。提供生产质量 SAGE 的资金将使更广泛的科学家和学生群体更容易获得网络基础设施，并有助于保持美国在高性能计算领域的领先地位。
