  1. Re:I used to work there... on Virtual Grid Supercomputer Goes (Partly) Online · · Score: 2, Informative

    During integration of new security software i saw the building of a new place to store more computers. There are 1300 nodes @ the computer centre (as one cluster, not mentioned other smaller ones). New power cabeling... DataTAG is a collaborating project with EDG that is also working on Internet2 for HighSpeed and Long Distance Networking issues (optimizing, altering tcp-stack, Level-1 networking, other stuff). @DataTAG there was a route set from Amsterdam to California with a average of 933Mbit/s. 5.6Gbit/s is already set from Amsterdam to CERN. Very sweet progress for long distance issues.

    i think not. Uhm i think you are affending some of my collaborating friends :-) I know some people from all those countries, not just the dozen, but the other big list of countries ... so what is the point i must be missing?

    LHC is the collider. LHC is being used by atleast 4 projects. These projects make the 8~10 PB of data a year. This is already filtered data ;-) Grids are to divide the load and distributed the computational tasks as the storage tasks for the experiments. Also biomedical tasks and Earth observation use the Grids for there data intensive jobs.

    Actually we thought to be responsible... atleast if you are in italy. The French electrics needed more power and patched the italian one to have more capacity. But it blown out some kinda something with a cascading effect. ... sweet ...
