Foundry Networks, Inc., a provider of switching and routing solutions, announced that the German-based Gesellschaft fur Schwerionenforschung (GSI) has selected its high-performance computing (HPC) networking solution. Foundry said its10 gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) switching solution for the GSI's particle accelerator network and facility allows wire-speed handling of the enormous volume of data resulting from experiments with the GSI's own revolutionary particle accelerator and with the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva.

Tyler Hamilton writes in the Toronto Star: "The grid is beginning to get some love. In the past month or two, it has become fashionable to highlight the shortfalls of our electrical grid, with high-profile names like Al Gore, Barack Obama and T. Boone Pickens calling for increased investment in our power-carrying highways. Last week, two big Gs – Google and General Electric – announced a plan to collaborate on new technologies and policy initiatives that would expand transmission capacity and push development of the ``smart grid..."

Mega Grid for Mega Science
Grid computing unites scientists around the world and uses their collective computing power to investigate science’s unanswered questions.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), being built by CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, near Geneva, Switzerland, is the largest scientific instrument on the planet. It is designed to accelerate and collide protons moving at nearly the speed of light into each other in the search for evidence to some of science’s unanswered questions, such as the origin of mass. When it comes online in 2007, the LHC will be able to “see” up to 40 million collision events per second, enabling the detectors of its main experiments, ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment), ATLAS (A large Toroidal LHC ApparatuS), CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid), and LHCb (Large Hadron Collider beauty experiment) to watch as the energy of these collisions mimic the conditions as they were a fraction of a second after the Big Bang.
