ASCI Network for SC' 98: Dense Wave Division Multiplexing for Distributed and Distance Computing

摘要

This document highlights the DISCOM's Distance computing and communication team activities at the 1998 Supercomputing conference in Orlando, Florida. This conference is sponsored by the IEEE and ACM. Sandia National Laboratories, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and Los Alamos National Laboratory have participated in this conference for ten years. For the last three years, the three laboratories have a joint booth at the conference under the DOE's ASCI, Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiatives. The DISCOM communication team uses the forum to demonstrate and focus communications and networking developments. At SC & DISCOM demonstrated the capabilities of Dense Wave Division Multiplexing. We exhibited an OC48 ATM encryptor. We also coordinated the other networking activities within the booth. This paper documents those accomplishments, discusses the details of their implementation, and describes how these demonstrations support overall strategies in ATM networking.
