ParoxysM Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 It makes PowerStink look worse... The team, which included folks from AMD, Cisco, Microsoft Research, Newisys, and S2io, transferred 859 gigabytes of data in less than 17 minutes. It did so at a rate of 6.63 gigabits per second (define) between the CERN facility in Geneva, Switzerland, and Caltech in Pasadena, Calif., a distance of more than 15,766 kilometers, or approximately 9,800 miles.

Guest Major_Chaos Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Scientists are racing to move gigantic amounts of data by 2007, when CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will switch on. This huge underground particle accelerator will produce some 15 petabytes (define) of data a year, which will be stored and analyzed on a global grid of computer centers. I smell serious brain tumors coming!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
