The Supercomputer Network

1 Recently, ten laboratories run by

governments in different parts of the world have

become linked. Their computers have been

connected so they can “talk” to each other. This

may not seem very dramatic news, but it is the

beginning of a development that will increase

the power of the Internet tremendously.

2 The Internet is an interconnected（互联）system of networks that connects computers

round the world and facilitates the transmission

and exchange of information. The way that you

use the Intermit is by accessing this network.

This depends on the power that your system

allows you to use. The power of your computer

is responsible for how fast you can download（下载）files, how much data you can store, etc. If

your computer is old and slow, accessing the

information can be very difficult.

3 The new development in information

technology has been called “the grid” （网格技

术）, and it will be a network of computers that

are linked together. The “grid” will work in a

different way from the Internet enabling you to

get the power of the biggest computers in the

world on your computer. Accessing the

information will no longer depend on the power

of your computer. The idea is that while you

access information, you will also have access to

the power of the bigger computer stations.

4 One advantage of this revolutionary idea is

that geographical location will become

irrelevant. The “grid” will decide which are the

best parts of a worldwide network to do the job

you want. This means that you may be accessing

a computer In Japan to solve a problem in

Alaska.

5 The “grid” can be compared to having an

efficient personal assistant. You can gave your

assistant a task and “he” will do it for you. The

assistant will do the preliminary research,

collect the data, compare them and decide on

the best course of action by accessing any of the

computer centers in the “grid” that happen to

have the relevant information. Ail you have to

do is assign the task, sit back and wait.

6 At present, possible applications of the “grid”

in scientific research are being explored. While

it has taken about fifteen years for Internet use

to become widespread, experts believe that the

“grid” could be us and running for private

individuals far more quickly. Scientists working

“grid” projects are convinced that it will be as

widely used as the web in the next ten years.

computer the power of___________

29 The “grid” would be like____________ who

can perform your tasks efficiently

“grid” will become possible in the

next__________
