What is “Blue Gene”?
A massively parallel supercomputer using tens of thousands of embedded PowerPC processors supporting a large memory space
With standard compilers and message passing
environment
Why the name “Blue Gene”?
“Blue”: The corporate color of IBM
“Gene”: The intended use of the Blue Gene clusters –Computational biology, specifically, protein folding
History
Dec‟99, IBM Research announced $100M US effort to build a Petaflop(10^15 FLoatingpoint OperrationsPer Second)scale supercomputer.
Two goals of The Blue Gene project :
Massively parallel machine architecture and software
Bio-Molecular Simulation –advance orders of magnitude
November 2001, Partnership with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)
