Eli Dart
Network Engineer
Network Engineering Services Group

Eli Dart is responsible for configuration and troubleshooting the ESnet’s infrastructure, solving performance problems, and planning for future upgrades, architectural enhancements, and technology changes. His professional interests include high performance networking, network security, and end-to- end performance. In particular, he is interested in the use of high performance networks as a tool to enable discoveries and enhance scientific productivity through efficient high-speed data movement, easier access to data sets, and enhanced collaboration.

Eli was involved with SCinet, the group of volunteers that builds and operates the network for the annual IEEE/ACM Supercomputing conference series, from 1997 through 2010. He served as Network Security Chair for SCinet for the 2000 and 2001 conferences, and was a member of the SCinet routing group from 2001 through 2010. Eli served as Executive Director under the SCinet chair for the 2009 conference.

Prior to ESnet, Eli worked for the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) in the networking and security group, and before NERSC, as a technical staff member in network and network security research at Sandia National Laboratories.  Eli holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from the Oregon State University College of Engineering.

Joe Breen, Eli Dart, Eric Pouyoul, Brian Tierney, Achieving a Science "DMZ", Winter 2012 Joint Techs, Full day tutorial, January 22, 2012,

There are several aspects to building successful infrastructure to support data intensive science. The Science DMZ Model incorporates three key components into a cohesive whole: a high-performance network architecture designed for ease of use; well-configured systems for data transfer; and measurement hosts to provide visibility and rapid fault isolation. This tutorial will cover aspects of network architecture and network device configuration, the design and configuration of a Data Transfer Node, and the deployment of perfSONAR in the Science DMZ. Aspects of current deployments will also be discussed.
