CARRIOCAS project: An experimental high bit rate optical network for computing-intensive scientific and industrial applications

The CARRIOCAS project studies and implements a high-bit-rate optical network (up to 40Gb/s per wavelength) to enable high-performance applications in numerical design, virtual prototyping and scientific research to access to shared high capacity computing and storage resource. The project researches cover optical components and systems, network architecture and management, distributed file system and high resolution remote collaborative visualization.
