Abstract

FABRIC is a national and international scale research infrastructure built to enable cutting-edge research in a wide range of networking and computing areas and domain sciences that depend on advanced networking and computing capabilities. Since its full operation in October 2023, FABRIC has seen rapidly emerging experiments in different research topics. This paper provides a description of FABRIC's hardware resources, software services, and an analysis of the characteristics of the emerging experiments that are leveraging FABRIC's unique capabilities. The analysis showed a wide spectrum of topic areas, frequent emphasis on at-scale and high performance experiments that interact with real facilities and real people, and growing complexity and rigor in tools, data and measurement. Researchers are seen sharing well-developed artifacts with others to enable larger experiments and reproducible research.
