And so CX64000 becomes an objective. CX64000 is 64 000 first grade universities and research centers linked in a Cray CX1 network. The aim is CX128K with double the participants but we are not there yet.
CX64000 is its own network and has its own tools which allow you to search for content, use applications and disseminate content.
That way CX1 at The Island with 12 clusters of 10 machines can tap into something greater than itself. A research network that is worldwide.
It is different than WiderNet, smaller and more able at the source. We want those 64 000 partners to actually put the stuff they are researching in there and make it searchable using network wide P2P.
It is not the internet, it is a closed research network with user id’s mailboxes and collaborative tools.
And yes it comes with P2P computing out of the box and eGranary WLAN capacity.
