WHAT IS BLUE GENE?
Blue Gene is a computerarchitecture project
designed to produce severalsupercomputers, designedto reach operating speeds inthe PFLOPS (petaFLOPS)range, and currently
reaching sustained speedsof nearly 500 TFLOPS(teraFLOPS) .

APPLICATIONS AND AWARDS
IBM and its collaborators are currently exploringa growing list of applications such ashydrodynamics, quantum chemistry, moleculardynamics, climate modeling and financialmodeling.
The project was awarded the National Medal ofTechnology and Innovation by U.S. PresidentBarack Obama on September 18, 2009. Thepresident bestowed the award on October 7,2009.

BLUE GENE/L
The first computer in the BlueGene series, Blue Gene/L ,in
partnership with LawrenceLivermore NationalLaboratory (LLNL) .
IBM first announced theproject Blue Gene/L , Sept.29, 2004 .
Final configuration waslaunched in October 2005.

BLUE GENE/L PERFORMANCE
Originally had a theoretical peak
performance of 360 TFLOPS, and scoredover 280 TFLOPS sustained on the Linpackbenchmark.
After an upgrade in 2007 the performance
increased to 478 TFLOPS sustained and 596TFLOPS peak.

BLUE GENE/L FEATURES
Blue Gene/Ls Major features are:
Trading the speed of processors for lower powerconsumption.
A large number of nodes (scalable in increments of1024 up to at least 65,536) .
Three-dimensional torus interconnect with auxiliarynetworks for global communications, I/O, andmanagement .
Lightweight OS per node for minimum system overhead(computational noise).

Blue Gene/L Architecture
Can be scaled up to 65,536 compute or I/O nodes, with131,072 processors.
Each node is a single ASIC with associated DRAMmemory chips.
Each ASIC has 2 700 MHz IBM PowerPC processors .
Node CPUs are not cache coherent with one another.
1 rack holds 1024 nodes or 2048 processors.
Each Blue Gene/L node is attached to three parallelcommunications networks: a 3Dtoroidal network for
peer-to-peer communication .

Blue Gene/C
Blue Gene/C is a sister-project to Blue Gene/L .
It is now renamed toCyclops64.
It is a massively parallel,supercomputer-on-a-chip
cellular architecture.
It was slated for release inearly 2007 but has beendelayed.

Blue Gene/P
On June 26, 2007, IBM unveiledBlue Gene/P, the second
generation of the Blue Genesupercomputer .
Designed to run continuously at 1PFLOPS (petaFLOPS), it can beconfigured to reach speeds in
excess of 3 PFLOPS.Furthermore, it is at least seventimes more energy efficient thanany other supercomputer,accomplished by using manysmall, low-power chips connectedthrough five specialized networks.

Blue Gene/Q
Last known supercomputer inthe Blue Gene series .
Blue Gene/Q is aimed toreach 20 Petaflops in the2011 time frame.
It will continue to expand and
enhance the Blue Gene/Land P architectures withhigher frequency at muchimproved performance per
watt.
