DEF

A high-speed digital network that would make it possible to transmit vast amounts of scientific and technical computer data and video images among a nation's supercomputer centers, research laboratories, universities, businesses and homes. This network of fiber-optic cables will become an essential part of the country's "information infrastructure" for the next century.

OBS

One such project is now being coordinated by scientists at CALTECH. It would use the gigabit network to link different types of supercomputers separated by thousands of miles into a single machine many times more powerful.
