End-To-End Performance of 10-Gigabit Ethernet on Commodity Systems
END-TO-END PERFORMANCE OF 10-GIGABIT ETHERNET ON COMMODITY SYSTEMS INTEL’SNETWORK INTERFACE CARD FOR 10-GIGABIT ETHERNET (10GBE) ALLOWS INDIVIDUAL COMPUTER SYSTEMS TO CONNECT DIRECTLY TO 10GBE ETHERNET INFRASTRUCTURES. RESULTS FROM VARIOUS EVALUATIONS SUGGEST THAT 10GBE COULD SERVE IN NETWORKS FROM LANSTOWANS. From its humble beginnings as such performance to bandwidth-hungry host shared Ethernet to its current success as applications via Intel’s new 10GbE network switched Ethernet in local-area networks interface card (or adapter).

RIKEN astrophysicists have performed the first laboratory experiments to see whether the interaction between dark matter and antimatter differs from that between dark matter and normal matter. If such a difference exists, it could explain two cosmological mysteries: why there is so little antimatter in the Universe and what is the true nature of dark matter (see page 18).

Data Center Architecture and Topology
CENTRAL TRAINING INSTITUTE JABALPUR Data Center Architecture and Topology Data Center Architecture Overview The data center is home to the computational power, storage, and applications necessary to support an enterprise business. The data center infrastructure is central to the IT architecture, from which all content is sourced or passes through. Proper planning of the data center infrastructure design is critical, and performance, resiliency, and scalability need to be carefully considered. Another important aspect of the data center design is flexibility in quickly deploying and supporting new services. Designing a flexible architecture that has the ability to support new applications in a short time frame can result in a significant competitive advantage. Such a design requires solid initial planning and thoughtful consideration in the areas of port density, access layer uplink bandwidth, true server capacity, and oversubscription, to name just a few. The data center network design is based on a proven layered approach, which has been tested and improved over the past several years in some of the largest data center implementations in the world. The layered approach is the basic foundation of the data center design that seeks to improve scalability, performance, flexibility, resiliency, and maintenance. Figure 1-1 shows the basic layered design. 1 CENTRAL TRAINING INSTITUTE MPPKVVCL JABALPUR Figure 1-1 Basic Layered Design Campus Core Core Aggregation 10 Gigabit Ethernet Gigabit Ethernet or Etherchannel Backup Access The layers of the data center design are the core, aggregation, and access layers. These layers are referred to extensively throughout this guide and are briefly described as follows: • Core layer—Provides the high-speed packet switching backplane for all flows going in and out of the data center. -

Integrative Medical Sciences Stratified Medicine for a Healthy Long-Lived Society
RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Sciences Stratified medicine for a healthy long-lived society. Creation of a research platform for new biomedical science. Japan is facing urgent health issues, such as lifestyle-related diseases, various cancers and brain-function disorders, in an increasingly aging society. It has become apparent that the human immune system not only relates to autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases and allergies, but also to many other age-related disorders. It is now thought that disease onset is caused by highly complex combinations of environmental stresses and body reactions, in addition to genomic variations, in each individual. At the RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Sciences (IMS), we aim to clarify the pathogenic mechanisms underlying human diseases and to translate this knowledge into novel therapies for the benefit of society. IMS will tackle various research questions Director to expound the functions of the human genome and immune system. IMS research is Kazuhiko Yamamoto based on the concept of disease as a dynamic body system interacting with environmental stresses. We will create a research platform to clarify the processes that maintain or disrupt body homeostasis and then transfer that knowledge into the creation of new therapies and medicines. In particular, IMS will strengthen its genome and immunology research platforms through new inputs from functional genomics research, with special emphasis on gene expression networks such as the FANTOM project. Based on this new research platform, IMS will integrate the knowledge of both human genome function and immune system, and lead cutting edge science to solve the problems of various diseases. IMS will promote comprehensive multi-layered analysis of the genome, epigenome, proteins, lipids, cells, organs and individuals. -
