The Johns Hopkins University (JHU) Materials Characterization and Processing Center (MCP) is linked via optical fiber to high performance computing. The network diagram shows the entire backbone for Hornet (Hopkins Research Network) is made up of 2 x 100gig Single mode Hopkins owned fiber connections (bundled together for 200gig total connection as shown in the above diagram; future upgrade to 400gig standalone) between our three major campuses and several of our HPC locations (ARCH and Bloomberg 156 which is connected to the Homewood Core). The Hornet network was built for Hopkins researchers to collaborate with other Hopkins researchers. For collaborations outside of Hopkins that require a high-speed connection utilizing the Internet 2 connection several Globus transfer nodes are available. Those transfer nodes are located at ARCH, connected at 100gig.
