10 Pb/sec? Re: IB vs Myrinet

[Eric Kuhnke]

So now you have a van full of RAID arrays...  How do you load and unload 
it?  It would be quite comical to run a spool of armored/weatherized 
multimode fiber from the computer room, down the hallway, out the door and 
into the parking lot.  :-)

Using the previously mentioned figure of 125TB in a truck, and a estimated 
coast-to-coast driving time of 60 hours, this works out to a one-way 
transfer rate of 2.08333 terabytes per hour, not counting the load and 
unload time.
