A BOLD Idea for Handling ‘Big Data’

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
HOUSTON, Sept. 23, 2013 — A new optical network being developed at Rice University will help streamline demanding, data-intensive computations in a customized, energy-efficient way. The new network, BOLD — short for Big Data and Optical Lightpaths-Driven Networked Systems Research Infrastructure — will use optical data-networking switches to handle the huge amounts of data generated by labs across the university. The National Science Foundation has provided a $900,000 grant for the three-year project. Rice University computer networking researchers are taking on “big data” with a...Read full article
