Apart from regular SuperComputing Bandwidth Challenge, this year the focus of the exhibit was the HEP teams record-breaking demonstration of storage-to-storage data transfer over wide area networks from a single rack of servers on the exhibit floor using open source tools and standard Linux Distributions.

Physicists at the LHC will break new ground at the high energy frontier when the accelerator and the experiments CMS and ATLAS begin operation in 2008, searching for the Higgs particles thought to be responsible for mass in the universe, for supersymmetry, and for other fundamentally new phenomena bearing on the nature of matter and spacetime. In order to fully exploit the potential wealth for scientific discoveries, a global-scale grid
