JSC Blue Gene/P Extreme Scaling Workshop 2011

bmohr — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 14:04:04 +0000

The Juelich Supercomputing Centre is happy to announce the 5th “Blue Gene/P Extreme Scaling Workshop” at Research Centre Juelich, Germany which will take place from February 14 to 16, 2011.

The purpose of the workshop is to provide application teams a chance to scale their codes across the full Blue Gene/P system JUGENE which provides 72 racks with a total of 294,912 cores. JUGENE is still the machine with the most cores world-wide. Appropriate hardware, software and support personnel will be provided to help to accomplish this task.

Lawrence Livermore Prepares for 20 Petaflop Blue Gene/Q

jedlicka — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 16:35:57 +0000

Building on its Blue Gene heritage, IBM will deliver “Dawn,” a 500 teraflop Blue Gene/P system in the first quarter of this year, followed by “Sequoia,” a 20 petaflop next-generation Blue Gene/Q machine for 2011. Sequoia is expected to officially go online in 2012. The new machines will take over Lawrence Livermore’s weapon simulation codes that are being maintained under the Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC) Program.
