Global science relies on robust, interconnected components - computers, storage, networks and the software that ties them together - collectively called the scientific cyberinfrastructure (CI). Improvements to individual components are made at varying paces, often creating bottlenecks in the flow of information - the scientific workflow - and slowing down scientific discovery. FABRIC Across Borders (FAB) enables domain scientists and CI experts to jointly develop a more tightly integrated, flexible, intelligent, easily programmable workflow that takes advantage of rapid changes in technology to improve global science collaboration. FAB enables domain scientists to perform global, end-to-end experimentation of new CI workflow ideas on a platform with one of a kind capabilities. The project expands the NSF-funded FABRIC testbed to encompass four additional, International locations, creating an interconnected resource on which an initial set of scientists from High Energy Physics (HEP), Astronomy, Cosmology, Weather, Urban Science and Computer Science work with cyberinfrastructure experts to conduct cyberinfrastructure experiments. In addition to domain scientists, FAB collaborates in the area of Internet freedom and maintains strong partnerships with human rights groups, which serve to expand the results beyond domain sciences.FABRIC nodes contain programmable networking hardware, storage, CPUs and GPUs, measurement devices and software in a single, integrated rack. FAB enables placement of four additional nodes in partner data centers in Tokyo, Amsterdam, Bristol and the particle physics lab CERN in Geneva and connects them via NSF-funded International networks, on which it’s possible to conduct experiments without impacting production science. FAB offers programmable peering with production networks and specialized testbeds, allowing experimenter topologies to be joined with production networks, vastly expanding the possibilities for the types of resources and users that can utilize the infrastructure. FAB creates new software services and tools for researchers at the facilities, and interfaces with existing and evolving data delivery services to efficiently move and process scientific data globally and test novel data analysis approaches that scale to massive volumes. Metrics of success are driven by the science experiments themselves: more efficient handling of both high energy physics data from CERN experiments to worldwide collaborators and Cosmic Microwave Background data collected in South America and the South Pole; successful proofs of concept for the sharing of Smart City sensor data for urban planning as well as the establishment of global, private 5G networks. All software associated with FAB will be open source and posted in a publicly available repository: https://github.com/fabric-testbed/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.

全球科学依靠可靠的，相互联系的组件 - 计算机，存储，网络和将它们联系在一起的软件 - 统称为科学网络基础结构（CI）。各个组件的改进是在不同的步伐上进行的，通常会在信息流中产生瓶颈 - 科学工作流程 - 并减慢科学发现。跨边界（FAB）的织物使域科学家和CI专家能够共同开发更紧密的，灵活，智能，易于编程的工作流程，从而利用技术的快速变化来改善全球科学的合作。 FAB使域科学家能够在具有一种具有一种功能的平台上对新的CI工作流程进行全球，端到端的实验。该项目扩展了NSF资助的织物测试台，以涵盖四个额外的国际位置，从而创建了相互联系的资源，其中一组来自高能物理学（HEP），天文学，宇宙学，天气，城市科学和计算机科学与Cyber​​infrasture的专家合作，以进行Cyber​​infrstructure架构实验。除领域科学家外，FAB还在互联网自由领域合作，并与人权群体保持了牢固的合作伙伴关系，这些伙伴关系可将结果扩展到领域科学以外。Fabric节点包含可编程的网络硬件，存储，CPU，CPU和GPU，CPU和GPU，测量设备和软件在单个单个集成架中。 Fab可以在东京，阿姆斯特丹，布里斯托尔和日内瓦的粒子物理实验室中将四个其他节点放置在Geneva的伙伴数据中心中，并通过NSF资助的国际网络将它们连接起来，可以在其中进行实验而不会影响生产科学。 Fab提供与生产网络和专业测试台的可编程凝视，从而使专家拓扑与生产网络相连，从而大大扩展了可以利用基础架构的资源和用户类型的可能性。 Fab为设施的研究人员创建了新的软件服务和工具，并与现有和不断发展的数据传递服务的接口，以有效地移动和处理全球的科学数据，并测试新的数据分析方法，以扩展大量量。成功的指标是由科学实验本身驱动的：从CERN实验到全球合作者以及在南美和南极收集的宇宙微波背景数据的高能量物理数据的更有效处理；为共享智能城市传感器数据以及建立全球5G网络的智能城市传感器数据的成功证明。与Fab相关的所有软件都将是开源的，并将其发布在公开可用的存储库中：https：//github.com/fabric-testbed/this奖反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来通过评估来诚实地获得支持。
