Roger Billings Invited by US Army to Submit Proposal


Another blast from at the past: Back in 2011, this press release on Newswire says that US Army invited Roger Billings to submit proposal regarding "the research and development of a low latency, multi-node communication architecture based on the concept of Low Latency Networking."  From what I can tell in the announcement, it has to do with speeding up communications in military applications.  It says the technology could also be used for "cluster computing environments where the very low latency will produce significant improvements in performance of distributed or shared memory systems."

It sounds like the Army gave him a "Phase I" contract and then invited him to submit a "Phase II" contract -- I guess that means they liked what they saw in the first phase.  Sounds like neat tech.  I'll keep looking for more references on it.
