FABRIC is a unique national research infrastructure to enable cutting-edge, and exploratory research at-scale in computer networking, distributed computing systems, and applications. It is a platform on which researchers will experiment with new ideas that will become building blocks of the next generation Internet and address requirements for emerging science applications that depend on large-scale networking. FABRIC will create the opportunities to explore innovative solutions not previously possible for a large variety of high-end science applications. FABRIC will provide a platform on which to educate and train the next generation of researchers on future advanced distributed systems designs. It will engage with students and educators from under-represented communities to create a diverse cohort of developers and experimenters. FABRIC members will participate in community building and will engage in outreach and tech transfer to industry affiliates. The FABRIC team is led by researchers from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of Kentucky, Clemson University, Illinois Institute of Technology, and the Department of Energy's ESnet (Energy Sciences Network). The team also includes researchers from many other universities to help test the design of the facility and integrate their computing facilities, testbeds and instruments into FABRIC. The main focus of the project is to create a nation-wide high-speed (100-1000 Gigabits per-second) network interconnecting major research centers and national computing facilities that will allow researchers and scientists at these facilities to develop and experiment with new distributed application, compute and network architectures not possible today. Uniquely, FABRIC nodes can store and process information "in the network" in ways not possible in the current Internet, which will lead to completely new networking protocols, architectures and applications that address pressing problems with performance, security and adaptability in the Internet. Reaching deep into university campuses, FABRIC will connect university researchers and their local compute clusters and scientific instruments to the larger FABRIC infrastructure. The infrastructure will also provide access to public clouds, such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure. This experimental facility will allow multiple experiments to be conducted simultaneously, and is capable of incorporating real traffic and real users into experiments. For more information about FABRIC including current plans for connected facilities visit https://www.fabric-testbed.net. All project software is available at https://github.com/FABRIC-testbed.This project is supported by the Foundation-wide Mid-scale Research Infrastructure program. The project will be managed by the Division of Computer & Network Systems (CNS) within the Directorate for Computer & Information Science & Engineering (CISE).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.

FABRIC 是一个独特的国家研究基础设施，可在计算机网络、分布式计算系统和应用程序方面进行大规模的前沿和探索性研究。在这个平台上，研究人员将试验新想法，这些新想法将成为下一代互联网的构建模块，并满足依赖大规模网络的新兴科学应用的需求。 FABRIC 将创造机会探索以前不可能用于各种高端科学应用的创新解决方案。 FABRIC 将提供一个平台，用于教育和培训下一代研究人员有关未来先进分布式系统设计的知识。 它将与来自代表性不足的社区的学生和教育工作者合作，创建一个多元化的开发者和实验者群体。 FABRIC 成员将参与社区建设，并向行业附属公司进行推广和技术转让。 FABRIC 团队由来自北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校、肯塔基大学、克莱姆森大学、伊利诺伊理工学院和能源部 ESnet（能源科学网络）的研究人员领导。该团队还包括来自许多其他大学的研究人员，帮助测试该设施的设计并将其计算设施、测试台和仪器集成到 FABRIC 中。该项目的主要重点是创建一个全国范围内的高速（每秒 100-1000 吉比特）网络，将主要研究中心和国家计算设施互连起来，使这些设施的研究人员和科学家能够开发和试验新的分布式网络。应用程序、计算和网络架构在今天是不可能的。独特的是，FABRIC 节点可以以当前互联网不可能的方式在“网络中”存储和处理信息，这将带来全新的网络协议、架构和应用程序，解决互联网中性能、安全性和适应性方面的紧迫问题。 FABRIC 深入大学校园，将大学研究人员及其本地计算集群和科学仪器连接到更大的 FABRIC 基础设施。该基础设施还将提供对公共云的访问，例如亚马逊网络服务、谷歌云平台和微软Azure。该实验设施将允许同时进行多个实验，并且能够将真实流量和真实用户纳入实验中。有关 FABRIC 的更多信息，包括互联设施的当前计划，请访问 https://www.fabric-testbed.net。所有项目软件均可在 https://github.com/FABRIC-testbed 上获取。该项目由基金会范围内的中型研究基础设施计划支持。该项目将由计算机与信息科学与工程理事会 (CISE) 下的计算机与网络系统 (CNS) 部门管理。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势进行评估，被认为值得支持以及更广泛的影响审查标准。
