FABRIC is Adaptive Programmable Research Infrastructure for Computer Science and Science Applications
FABRIC (FABRIC is Adaptive ProgrammaBle Research Infrastructure for Computer Science and Science Applications) is an International infrastructure that enables cutting-edge experimentation and research at-scale in the areas of networking, cybersecurity, distributed computing, storage, virtual reality, 5G, machine learning, and science applications.
The FABRIC infrastructure is a distributed set of equipment at commercial collocation spaces, national labs and campuses. Each of the 29 FABRIC sites has large amounts of compute and storage, interconnected by high speed, dedicated optical links. It also connects to specialized testbeds (5G/IoT PAWR, NSF Clouds), the Internet and high-performance computing facilities to create a rich environment for a wide variety of experimental activities.
FABRIC Across Borders (FAB) extends the network to 4 additional nodes in Asia and Europe.
The NSF-funded FABRIC project has made steady progress establishing the groundbreaking network testbed infrastructure to… Read More >

Finalize node and topology designs and deployment plans, collect community feedback. Design and begin implementation of control and measurement software. Prototype and test different FABRIC nodes.
FABRIC is made possible by collaborations with the following organizations.
FABRIC is supported in part by a Mid-Scale RI-1 NSF award under Grant No. 1935966.
