This is the last Supercomputing conference before CERN’s Large Hadron Collider starts producing collisions, whereupon the experiments there will acquire massive amounts of real data: of order 10 Petabytes per year in 2010 and far more in later years. In our Bandwidth Challenge entry we will demonstrate Storage to Storage physics dataset transfers of up to 100 Gbps sustained in one direction, and well above 100 Gbps in total bidirectionally,

Physicists at the LHC will break new ground at the high energy frontier when the accelerator and the experiments CMS and ATLAS resume operation in Nov 2009, 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

Caltech Won the SuperComputing ’09 Bandwidth Challenge ! Press release: BWCPressRelease.pdf The SuperComputing Conference 2009 was held in Portland, Oregon(USA) this year. An international team of physicists, computer scientists, and network engineers led by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and partners from the University of Michigan, Fermilab, Brookhaven National Laboratory, CERN, San Diego (UCSD), Florida (UF and FIU), Brazil (Rio de Janeiro State University, UERJ, and State Universities of São Paulo,
