IBM to show its new fastest supercomputer today – BlueGene/P
IBM said it developed a system that can reach the latest holy grail of supercomputing – it has designed a supercomputer that can surpass a sustained performance of one quadrillion operations per second, also known as a petaflop. The new supercomputer, called BlueGene/P, is expected to be introduced today at the International Supercomputing Conference in Dresden, Germany
IBM said it has received an order from Argonne National Laboratory in Argonne, Ill., which will deploy the first BlueGene/P later this year. IBM also said the Max Planck Society and Forschungszentrum Julich plan to install BlueGene/P systems in late 2007. Forschungszentrum Julich researchers in Germany will use the system in areas such as particle physics and nanotechnology.
