"The PNNL team streamed video data from high-capacity storage on the
conference show floor to Hewlett-Packard-loaned hardware in the lab's
booth. The amount of data moved ranged from 30 to 60 gigabits per
second. "

"Direct access of data on parallel file-systems across high-speed
wide area links."
"Hewlett Packard (HP) SFS parallel filesystem located at SC05 for
processing on an Itanium compute cluster located over 500 miles
away at the PNNL Campus."
Logical Diagramを見ていただくと解りますが、SC|05会場は外部と非常に太い
回線で結ばれています。
