How Do You Use CalREN?

We want to know!

UCLA 		[Scott Friedman]
UCLA research Scott Friedman gained an Honorable Mention in the SC07 Bandwidth Challenge this year -- not only for a high and extremely smooth data exchange rate, but for doing so with a live application and one that mandated low latency, exchanging high-definition video frames during the live manipulation of a remote data set at UCLA. "We hadn't actually planned to do this specifically for the Bandwidth Challenge," says UCLA researcher Scott Friedman at UCLA Academic Technology Services. "We had already performed a long-distance test between UCLA and UC Davis and wanted to see how the latency between here and Reno would affect the behavior of the application."

The next steps for this project involve further testing between UCLA and UC Davis in order to increase performance and test the limits of acceptable latency for the visualization application. Friedman hopes to present on this topic and feature a live demo at the 2008 CENIC Annual Conference, Lightpath to the Stars, which will offer attendees Gigabit connectivity to CalREN.
