The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is now supporting scientific research at unprecedented bandwidth speeds at least ten times faster than commercial Internet providers with a new network that connects thousands of researchers using three of the world's top supercomputing centers in California, Illinois and Tennessee. The new network will be officially unveiled today in Seattle, Washington, at the gala opening of SC11, the premier international conference on high performance computing, networking, storage and analysis, where DOE researchers will use the network for groundbreaking climate data transfers and astrophysics visualizations.
