At the center of this infrastructure is the 2-PFLOPS system being developed as part of the GRAPE-DR project, to be operational in 2008. At iGrid, storage services that use the GRAPE-DR’s single-box high-density 10Gb storage server and an IPv6 fast TCP data transfer protocol demonstrate, for the first time, 10Gb TCP utilization in a production environment. By using “inter-layer coordination optimization” for TCP on both IPv4 and IPv6, 10Gb storage services can be realized using only a few TCP streams, providing new opportunities for large-scale data sharing. This project receives funding from the Special Coordination Fund for Promoting Science and Technology, MEXT, Japan. |
