Faster data transfer

GridFTP, a protocol developed by researchers at Argonne National Laboratory, has been used to transfer unprecedented amounts of data over the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Energy Sciences Network (ESnet). 'High-performance networking has become critical to science due to the size of the data sets and the wide scope of the collaboration characteristics of today's large science projects such as climate research and high-energy physics,' said Eli Dart, a network engineer for ESnet, which is managed by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
