Re: Actual performance?

I doubt the group expects even next-gen bleeding-edge processors to suck on a full pipe. This seems more like a way to get data from a particle physics experiment through a forest of successive aggregating routers to the humongous array of godawful expensive storage located a "safe" distance away. Those gigabytes per nanosecond can add up, ya know.

Hmmm... How much impact on climate change will this link have when it gets applied to transcontinental ocean cables?
