Blue Gene R /P is a massively parallel supercomputer intended as the successor to Blue Gene/L. It leverages much of the existing architecture of its predecessor to provide scalabi...
The growing computational and storage needs of several scientific applications mandate the deployment of extreme-scale parallel machines, such as IBM’s BlueGene/L which can acc...
The BlueGene/L supercomputer will consist of 65,536 dual-processor compute nodes interconnected by two high-speed networks: a three-dimensional torus network and a tree topology ne...
