 * 09:00~10:00 [http://www.nchc.org.tw/event/2008/southeast_asia/program.php 東南亞研習會 CEPERC 2008] :  Cloud Computing – Dr. Phil Papadopolous, UCSD (VTC) @ 中群 3D Theater, 北群 318
   * Scalable Web Service
   * Software Service Cloud
   * 從整體趨勢來觀察雲端運算
     * 如果 Cloud Computing 的軟體都是全新的方式，那註定會失敗!
     * IaaS Cloud 把所有科學家變成系統管理員!
     * Rocks 已發展超過七年.
     * Modern "Cluster" Architecture -
       * Physical Computing Nodes
       * Physical Storage Nodes
       * Web Service Nodes
       * Authentication Nodes, Single Sign-On Nodes
   * Rocks 的優勢: 
     * (1) 已經有很多科學家使用 <- 因為已經針對科學需求去做客製化 => DRBL 與 Rocks 最大的區隔!!
     * (2) Rocks 5.1 is working to make both the provider side and the user side easier!
   * Campus Cloud: Cluster Extension
     * 善用 !TeraGrid 的高速頻寬，讓機器使用 PXE boot 變成 Rocks Cluster
   * Q: What is the main research challenge to Cloud Computing?
   * A: Operation Problem!
   * Q: Does Cloud Computing bring any different programming model?
   * A: Hadoop is a sample.
   * Q: Any comment for Public Cloud and Private Cloud?
   * A: Privacy / Security Issue is the key difference.
   * Q: How far 
   * A: Move Computing to the Data
   * Q: If Amazon and Google can provide computing and storage resources needed by scientists, do you think it is a threat to !TeraGrid and other super computing center?
   * A: As for the role of providing hardware, the answer is "Yes". But for HPC, we need bandwidth and HPC dormain know-how. I don't think Amazon and Google know as much as HPC know-how as other supercomputing center.
   * Q: Is there any plan for providing interoperation between Amazon EC2 and Rock Xen Roll Cluster?
   * A: There are already prototype for making Rock Xen Roll VM to run on Amazon EC2.
   * Q: With the growth of Virtual Machines, how to deal with the need of IP address? Any plan for applying IPv6?
   * A: Yes, it is time for IPv6.
   * Q: About Campus Cloud, is it PXE booting from remote or from local network? Is it limited to one subnet?
   * A: Yes, from local network.
