SuperComputing 2011

At the SuperComputing 2011 (SC11) conference in Seattle in November, an international team from UVic and Caltech transferred data in opposite directions at a combined world record rate of 186 gigabits per second (Gbps) in a wide-area network circuit. The 100 G circuit was established from the UVic Enterprise Data centre via BCNet and CANARIE to Seattle. HEPnet Canada staff and equip[ment participated in this demonstration.
