Woodside, NY | That would melt a normal PC The sheer speed would burn out the HD of a normal PC. Only way to get that is to RAID some drives, and spread the load.
That's almost 10x 100 Mbps for 1 Gb

| Worse.
Memories aren't that fast.
If i'm not wrong our current MAX transfer on memories is around 6 and some gigabytes per second (48gbps)...
So even the memory can't receive that much that fast.
I wonder how they test it. | |

| Re: That would melt a normal PC PC3200 DDR has a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 3.2GBytes/second when it is 64bit. It's 6.4 when it's 128bit. You can get a MP machine that has multiple DDR controllers with it such as the Opteron. One controller per processor. A 2P machine will do 12.8GB/s, a 4P will do 25.6GB/s and an 8P will do 51.2GB/s.

in order to do thise they are using solid state drives in a raid formation. Same stuff needed for the big SMP setups these days. | |

You know, I'm curious. If you don't care, then why post? Are you also so naive as to not see the benefits of experimentation with new hardware/materials/methods? You'll never see these speeds, but the methods they use help develop new ways of transferring data over around the world. There's more to the internet than your last mile. Consider the benefit to you if your ISP can transfer more data for the same amount or less money.

Anyone saying who cares is shortsighted and should look more then 1 minute into the future. More than 1 minute...try a zillion years. Saying this research will reach the consumer is like saying the Budweiser rocket car technology will reach the consumer...adding to that while all the roads are jammed and full of potholes. Sure...it's interesting...but otherwise completely worthless for the rest of the 'real world'.
So I join others...who cares?!? Anyone who thinks of this as anything more that a fleeting novelty is sorely misguided. The money wasted on this so-called research could have been better spent elsewhere. | |

Kennesaw, GA | they could start lowering the price of broadband to say 14.99 for 3.0/512 and 9.99 for 1.5/384
Then we may have something that is much more versatile!

3 edits | Re: Who Cares? Guess you didn't bother to READ the PR, more specifically the applications of this, before posting. It has nothing to do with credentials...everything to do with the admitted applications (or lack thereof).
My point is made again...petabytes of data from future experimentation at the compact Muon Solenoid and the Toroidal Large Hadron Collider Apparatus have ZERO to do with CONSUMER anything...which was the errant claim of the previous poster. These applications won't filter to B2B or B2C providers.
It is completely worthless for the rest of the 'real world'. Thus...who cares...save for the 2000 physicists who work on such data intensive projects.
But whatever...you're entitled to your opinion and me to mine. | |

I2 mimics a lab type condition they can disconnect the node off I2 and run it without disrupting traffic to and from the points.
It comes down to taking most of the problems out of the test.

We used to do this in datacenter to test new equipment and make sure they were capable of taking the high loads.

| I think you are missing the point.... This test isn't to show that somebody at home will get this speed. It shows that a backbone is capable of those speeds and thus there is more bandwidth for everybody to support higher end user speeds (like 100Mbit).
There is a big picture here, just look for it  .

| Re: So... yah they take forever... BUT. the upgrades do happen, I had a DSL line for quite a while with verizon. started back when 384/32Kbits was considered fast.. (5-6 years ago?) well, I paid roughly $70 a month back then. now. since they upgraded their backbones, everyone gets a 3.0M/768kbits/sec DSL line, for $30 a month WITH router and modem... (oh when I say everyone, I meant the lucky ones who lives close to their CO to get the 3.0/768 speed). If that 101Gbit/sec line is actually implemented, you get even faster and cheaper internet.  ...I say wait 4 more years, at the rate technology is growing.

| Research Internet 2 is basically being used just for research & development. They are testing new ideas and theories over how to transfer more information in a shorter ammount of time. It is not a company producing this stuff.
First off - it will take some time before companies produce new eqiptment to sell to backbone providers for faster speeds. I think the fastest backbones now are already at about 10GB/s. Since Internet2 is only a little over the 12GB/s mark it will be a while before they seriously adopt it (probably when it reaches the 20GB/s mark).
It will take time before we see 100MB/s to individual users:
- Unlike the Asian countries that are mainly controlled by the government (and therefore push consumer-level products faster), the US broadband is controlled mainly by business (supply, demand, and execs willingness to try new trends). And at this point businesses are reluctant to give up dough (money) to upgrade their networks due to current shakey demand for faster broadband connections.
I would say most of this reluctance is because of the fact that much of the US's mid-section is farmland which means greater distances between houses (higher-cost to deploy broadband services) and less demand (their 'simple folk' who have little need for internet). Most of the major demand is in the big cities. | |

I dont think he meant it as a prejudiced statement, just saying what the attitude among execs is. also it seems that those living in rural areas do purchase less luxuries (and yes i consider broadband a luxury). | |
