GSN Workshop 99
at CERN

Following is a short overview of the GSN Workshop held at CERN on 8 October 1999.

Speakers and Presentations:

Manuel Delfino, Leader IT Division, CERN. Opening:
"So strong is GSN with ST"	Carl Pick - Genroco "and I swear it's true"		John Freisinger ODS - Essential & Carl Pick - Genroco GSN and ST; A Technology Overview
Roger Ronald - PMR "Ethernet and HIPPI Converge in GSN"
			Elmar Droege - Infineon 1.25 Gbit/s AC PAROLI: An Optical link for HIPPI-6400 Operation
"GSN Activities at CERN"			Arie Van Praag CERN ( Sorry no picture )
Chris Good - Genroco ST: The Key to Network Independent SANs		Steph Bailey - Genroco "Dreaming of ST"

How GSN and ST can be compelling solutions for specific markets			John Freisinger
Jean-Michel Pittet - SGI GSN at SGI: Now to day and coming solutions.
			Carl Pick - Genroco What is going on in HNF, an Industry Overview

Preparing the GSN Demonstration Network and Storage Area:

Problem No 1: How to feed worlds newest, latest, fastest 32 X 32 Network Switch? Answer: Europe is not USA, to make two times 110 V we used a 40 years old transformer.
		Busy to set-up the GSN Switchand a Network Bridge Larry Beine Joe Nordmann Eric Michaud (Compaq) Tim Larson
And coupling the Storage Area from Compaq to the GSN Network. Mike Barret Tim Larson Steph Bailley background: Larry Beine
Adjusting the Silicon Graphics GSN Interfaces. Jean-Michel Pittet

The GSN Demonstration.


SGI: GSN Data Transfers between two O-2000 machines at 550 MByte/s

SGI: Gigabit Ethernet Data Transfer using ST between systems (1400) running IRIX and LINUX

	Genroco and COMPAQ: Demonstrated the Storage Area Network Capability with a throughput that was limited by the disk area at 450 MByte/s

Genroco: Demonstrated interconnectivity between Fibre Channel, HIPPI and Gigabit Ethernet to GSN.
Can somebody tell me WHY this group is called the "Genroco-GOLF-Team"
