New record in data transmission speed

[jordiqui]

A team of experts has managed to transmit data between two supercomputers located in Seattle and Victoria at a record speed of 186 gigabits per second. The project is the result of the work of physicists, computer scientists, and network engineers, who sent that data between the Canadian city of Victoria and Seattle. Among the institutions involved in the project are the California Institute of Technology, the universities of Michigan and Victoria, and CERN (European Centre for Nuclear Research). To carry out the data transmission, they used devices from brands such as Dell and Brocade and a high-speed fiber optic network managed by Canarie, the Canadian Advanced Research and Innovation Network. The feat took place last month during the Supercomputing conference held in Seattle and brought together experts specializing in the world of supercomputers. Specifically, they were able to send data at a speed of 98 Gbps in one direction and 88 Gbps in the other, which totals 186 Gbps and surpasses the previous record, which was also held by this same team. According to Cnet, considering the transmission speed supported by the network in the test, it would be possible to send without problems the equivalent of 100,000 Blu-Ray discs daily. Source

Absolutely incredible :|:|:|

How we would all practically yearn for a connection that is only 1/4 as fast as that… or not?
Some so much and others so little... :vayatela:
We are left with the hope of thinking that in the not too distant future, connections will be implemented in homes with speeds similar to that, or at least in that range.

Thanks for the contribution jordiqui :sisi:
PD: I vote to christen you "the lord of HL news" :risitas:

And you baptize me as "the lord who approves the news of the lord of the news of HL"?

Look, I'm satisfied with the fact that in Spain there will be some decent connections similar to the rest of Europe someday…

[jordiqui]

If the record seems incredible; as is the fact that in Barcelona there are areas where a 3G modem can achieve a more stable and faster connection than ADSL. Which does not reach 1Mb, of course, not to mention that they do not count the upload speed, which is then for running away. As Mystique says, I am satisfied with having the same speeds as countries in our European community.

I wonder if that data is stored physically or how the thing is set up... because 23GB/s are a lot of gigabytes to write, eh? :chuckles:

It is probably random data generation, and verification through some redundancy code.

Well, if you don't mind, I give you my vote… :lol::lol:

Well, the truth is that you are right, if only by approaching the European average we would notice it quite a lot... but seeing these speeds it is very difficult not to feel envy/need :nono:

I wish Adamo would come to my area and not to compete with Euskaltel's fiber, which are starting to raise prices again, although with the current 50mb I'm not complaining but they could already put up a decent network throughout the country.

If CERN is involved, I wouldn't be surprised if they used useful data. The LHC produces 300 Gb/s of data in its detectors, although subsequently the information that may be interesting is selected and the rate is reduced by several orders of magnitude.
