Quotes

“I wanted to compose a musical piece celebrating the Voyager 1 and 2 *together*, so used the same measurements (proton counts from the cosmic ray detector over the last 37 years) from both spacecrafts, at the exactly same point of time, but at several billions of Kms of distance one from the other. I used different groups of instruments and different sound textures to represent the two spacecrafts, synchronising the measurements taken at the same time.”
Domenico Vicinanza, Arts and Humanities Manager at GÉANT
“The combination of major new scientific projects like IFERC and the use of supercomputers like HELIOS is creating an explosion of data for which we need to be ready. The provision of a 10Gbps link is a first and crucial step to support the data networking needs in the global search for cleaner, sustainable energy and to assist scientists in their ground-breaking work.”

The sound of space discovery - GÉANT transforms 36 years of spacecraft data into musical duet

Demonstrating the power of high-speed networks for research and educationThe sound of space discovery - GÉANT transforms 36 years of spacecraft data into a musical duet Demonstrating the power of high-speed networks for research and education GÉANT, the pan-European data network serving 50 million research and education users at speeds of up to 500Gbps, recently demonstrated its power by sonifying 36 years’ worth of NASA Voyager spacecraft data and converting it into a musical duet. Launched in 1977, both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are now decommissioned but still recording and

Discover how GÉANT is helping nuclear fusion scientists tackle the global energy crisis

GÉANT paves data highway for nuclear fusion energy researchHigh-speed network essential link in search for clean, sustainable energy 9 April 2013, GÉANT, the world’s leading high-speed research and education network managed and operated by DANTE in Cambridge, UK, is providing data links to the International Fusion Energy Research Centre (IFERC), in Rokkasho, Japan.  IFERC hosts the Helios supercomputer, a system with a compute power exceeding 1 PFlops and attached to a storage capacity of 50 PB. The Helios supercomputer is provided and operated by the French Alternative Energies and

Could music find the right key to treating epilepsy by forecasting impending seizures?

Musicians and scientists use high speed data networks to collaborate on melody analysis toolThanks to the combined power of supercomputing and the high-speed GÉANT network, a group of musicians, network experts, computer scientists and neuroscientists have collaborated in the study of epilepsy using melody analysis (data sonification). Initiated by the ARCEM - Italian Association for the Research on Brain & Spinal Cord Diseases, Vittuone (MI), Italy, and in collaboration with the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research, Milan, Italy, the *project studies musical patterns which
