5 Petabyte Astrophysics Simulation Now Stored on Filecoin Network
The post 5 Petabyte Astrophysics Simulation Now Stored on Filecoin Network appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ramo helped transfer Dr. Fielding’s 5PB astrophysics simulation data into Filecoin’s decentralized storage network. Filecoin ensures long-term, immutable storage for massive scientific data beyond institutional storage limitations. If one video frame is usually only a few megabytes, imagine the work of Dr. Drummond Fielding from Cornell University: one frame of his 3D simulation reaches 80 terabytes. That’s just one image. In one full run, the total data can exceed 5 petabytes. Crazy, right? And clearly, the usual campus storage system is not designed to accommodate such a large load. Especially when talking about long-term storage. The risk of data being lost or suddenly deleted always looms. This is where Ramo’s role begins to be seen. This team helps Fielding move his giant data to Filecoin’s decentralized storage network. The process turns out to be not complicated. Ramo uses the Globus protocol for transfer, then the data goes directly to the Filecoin network which is known to be durable and anti-delete. In fact, he said, it only takes a few minutes to start moving everything. So you don’t have to wait for hours like uploading regular files. One frame of Dr. Drummond Fielding’s 3D simulation is over 80 TB. A full run exceeds 5 PB. With institutional systems under strain, storing that much data was nearly impossible, until Ramo (@ramo_io) helped him offload it to Filecoin’s decentralized network. pic.twitter.com/eOCT2Y9bzY — Filecoin (@Filecoin) July 5, 2025 Filecoin Becomes a Safe Place for Big Data Filecoin itself is indeed increasingly active in the realm of scientific data storage and real-world applications.

It is perfect for Web3 applications that require extra privacy and security. The…
