All About The Grid - Superfast Internet

[bemS]

---

The Internet could soon be made obsolete. The scientists who pioneered it have now built a lightning-fast replacement capable of downloading entire feature films within seconds.

At speeds about 10,000 times faster than a typical broadband connection, “the grid” will be able to send the entire Rolling Stones back catalogue from Britain to Japan in less than two seconds.

The power of the grid will become apparent this summer after what scientists at Cern have termed their “red button” day - the switching-on of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the new particle accelerator built to probe the origin of the universe. The grid will be activated at the same time to capture the data it generates.

Cern, based near Geneva, started the grid computing project seven years ago when researchers realised the LHC would generate annual data equivalent to 56m CDs - enough to make a stack 40 miles high.

wow! this is good news

[romano2717]

ha? less than 2 seconds? ako download na COD 2 took me 3 days

[bemS]

lage! for now it seems impossible.. but you know techonology..these days..

[DrE]

sounds nice but then limited ang write speed nimo sa imo hard disk.

[coolnezz]

why bother storing it in ur hard drive, access it all from the GRID and store it there too... anywhere/anytime/anyhow computing.

[Chipmunk888]

then PLDT and GLOBE shall avail this technology soon, it shall become GREEN, not GRID.

[netcommando]

yeah... it should be "fiber to the home" as medium from ur end to isp not copper... soon ip addresses will be embedded to the laser lights

mura'g dugay2x pa jud mi ma implement dri sa Philippines. hehehe.

mura'g dugay2x pa jud mi ma implement dri sa Philippines. hehehe.

that would be the most possible thing to happen.. lol

[rhodem24]

hehehe.. prmi man jud ta last.
