文摘

Wide area optical lambda networks create new possibilities for data-intensive scientific research and collaboration. One initiative to create novel infrastructure is the OptIPuter project which aims to build a distributed virtual computer using optical networks. At the iGrid2005 venue, an experiment was conducted on how a 100 Mpixel display device in San Diego could be driven by a remote 100 Mpixel graphics device in Amsterdam. The experiment showed the viability of such a setup, thereby validating one specific part of the OptIPuter concept: geographic separation of 100 Mpixel graphics- and display device. A key element in our setup is the use of unreliable communication.
