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. -
Ian Bird, project leader for Cern’s high-speed computing project, said grid
technology could make the internet so fast that people would stop using
desktop computers to store information and entrust it all to the internet.
“It will lead to what’s known as cloud computing, where people keep all their
information online and access it from anywhere,” he said. -
Although the grid itself is unlikely to be directly available to domestic
internet users, many telecoms providers and businesses are already
introducing its pioneering technologies. One of the most potent is so-called
dynamic switching, which creates a dedicated channel for internet users
trying to download large volumes of data such as films. In theory this would
give a standard desktop computer the ability to download a movie in five
seconds rather than the current three hours or so.

Chris DukeTHE 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.

mark vanthe grid has been built with dedicated fibre optic cables and modern routing centres, meaning there are no outdated components to slow the deluge of data. The 55,000 servers already installed are expected to rise to 200,000 within the next two years.

The latest spin-off from Cern, the particle physics centre that created the web, the grid could also provide the kind of power needed to transmit holographic images; allow instant online gaming with hundreds of thousands of players; and offer high-definition video telephony for the price of a local call. -
