IBM is already testing the 800Mbps – that’s 100Mbytes-per-second – channel that we told subscribers about at the end of last year: according to Newsbytes, the tests are being done with a 3090-600 mainframe – no doubt fitted with a full complement of Vector Facilities – at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, as part of the lab’s research into new supercomputer techniques; the channel has enough bandwidth to transmit full-motion, computer simulations or fed data from a satellite straight into the mainframe.
