Department of Energy's ESnet rolls out world's fastest science network
U.S. Department of Energy's ESnet is now operating the world's fastest science network, serving the entire national laboratory system, its supercomputing centers, and its major scientific instruments at 100 gigabits per second – 10 times faster than its previous generation network. Read More
Department of Energy’s ESnet Revving up to Unleash 100 Gbps National Science Network
Under the current schedule, the switchover to ESnet5 will be done in November 2012, with different regions being migrated in sequence. Read More
ESnet Lights up First Superfast Science Data Network
Writing in the October issue of IEEE Spectrum, Ariel Bleicher describes the science drivers behind ESnet’s move to a 100 gigabit-per-second network. “When the new 100-gigabit-per-second Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) goes live next month, it will be the world’s fastest continent-spanning science network. But this distinction will probably be temporary: Research networks around the world… Read More
End-to-End Network Tuning Sends Data Screaming from NERSC to NOAA
As an associate scientist in the Earth System Research Lab at NOAA, Gary Bates has transferred hundreds of thousands of files for a weather forecasting project. Earlier this year, ESnet staff helped him transfer 170 terabytes of data from NERSC in Oakland, Ca back to NOAA in Boulder, Co at a whopping rate of 395 megabytes per second. Read More
