またネットワーク関連ですが、ようやく(?) Gnodalから製品アナウンスです：

"Gnodal Announces GS-Series Ultra-low Latency 10/40GbE Switches"
 10th May 2011
  http://www.gnodal.com/news_home.html
  http://www.gnodal.com/docs/GS%20Family%20Press%20Release.pdf

  "Gnodal Unveils Revolutionary 10/40 Gigabit Ethernet Portfolio to
   Enable Low Latency, Scalable Ethernet for the Enterprise."

----------------------------------------
The GS-Series consists of three 1RU products:
*)GS7200 - 72 ports of 10 GbE SFP+
*)GS4008 - 40 ports of 10 GbE SFP+ and 8 ports of 40 GbE QSFP
*)GS0018 - 18 ports of 40 GbE QSFP
----------------------------------------



  "With an initial port-to-port latency as low as 150ns and
   additional hops at a mere 66ns, multi-stage networks containing
   thousands of ports can be assembled with an overall system latency
   as low as 414ns."
.....
   "In addition to unprecedented levels of performance, the products
    are also extremely power efficient, exhibiting typical power
    consumption under 1.6 Watts per twinax copper port and under
    2.5 Watts per optical port."

  "All Gnodal switches are based on our own PETA ASIC, an 18 x 40Gbs,
   highly integrated switch, a fundamental differentiator from other
   switch providers."

は先にステルスモードから抜けましたが、今回 (Interop in Las Vegas) の
製品発表は無かったようですね。
