Experimental distributed computing services are becoming vital to support emerging cyberphysical systems. But the capital investment and operational expenses required to sustain experimental research testbeds to host these vital services can grow large. In this project the Leafy edge compute cloud explores a new model for computing research infrastructure -- a software-only, geographically decentralized cloud testbed that expands in size through voluntary contributions of available computing hardware, on a part- or full-time basis. The LEAFY Cloud offers the prospect of a virtuous cycle: as more sites join the LEAFY edge cloud, more software developers and experimenters are attracted to the infrastructure, resulting in the deployment of more applications and services, increasing the value of new contributors offering to host a compute resource.This project will develop and prototype a viral, sustainable, software-only distributed testbed for Cloud-in-the-Loop Systems, and to explore the issues involved in supporting distributed computing experiments and services. It will incorporate modern orchestration, management, and tenancy technologies, and rely heavily on open source virtualization and cloud management software technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes. LEAFY will be the first multi-tenant wide-area distributed system to deploy systems and experiments using a state-of-the-art micro-services architecture. Two experiments will be hosted and analyzed to evaluate the system: a Distributed Collaborative Visualization System and the Global Data Plane.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

实验分布式计算服务对于支持新兴的网络物理系统至关重要。 但是，维持实验性研究测试台为托管这些重要服务所需的资本投资和运营费用可能会增长。在这个项目中，Leafy Edge Compute Cloud探索了一种用于计算研究基础架构的新模型 - 一种仅软件的，地理分散的云测试床，通过局部或全日制的可用计算硬件的自愿贡献来扩展大小。多叶云提供了一个良性周期的前景：随着越来越多的网站加入绿叶边缘云，更多的软件开发人员和实验者被吸引到基础架构中，从而使更多的应用和服务部署，从而增加了提供的新贡献者的价值，以托管托管这些项目的项目将与可持续的，可持续的测试和构建的云融合在一起，以实现云分布式计算实验和服务。它将结合现代的编排，管理和租赁技术，并严重依赖开源虚拟化和云管理软件技术，例如Docker和Kubernetes。 Leafy将是第一个使用最先进的微服务体系结构来部署系统和实验的多租户宽面积分布式系统。将托管和分析两个实验以评估该系统：分布式协作可视化系统和全球数据平面。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛影响的评估审查标准来通过评估来获得支持的。
