		Blue Gene/L is expected to operate at about 200 teraflops (200 trillion operations per second) which is larger than the total computing power of the top 500 supercomputers in the world today.
		Blue Gene is an IBM Research project dedicated to exploring the frontiers in supercomputing: in computer architecture, in the software required to program and control massively parallel systems, and in the use of computation to advance our understanding of important biological processes such as protein folding.
		Blue Gene is an IBM supercomputing project dedicated to building a new family of supercomputers optimized for bandwidth, scalability and the ability to handle large amounts of data while consuming a fraction of the power and floor space required by today's fastest systems.

	IBM details Blue Gene supercomputer \| CNET News.com
		"Blue Gene" is an ambitious project to expand the horizons of supercomputing, with the ultimate goal of creating a system that can perform one quadrillion calculations per second, or one petaflop.
		Blue Gene's original mission was to tackle the computationally onerous task of using the laws of physics to predict how chains of biochemical building blocks described by DNA fold into proteins--massive molecules such as hemoglobin.
		IBM is building the processors for the first member of the Blue Gene family, Blue Gene/L, and expects to use them this year in a machine that will be a microcosm of the eventual full-fledged Blue Gene/L due by the end of 2004, Pulleyblank said.

	Genetics
		Blues and livers are both double recessive genes, which means that BOTH parents must each carry a copy of the blue or liver gene in order to produce either a blue or a liver.
		A blue GSD icon is a blue; a fl GSD is a fl dog that does not carry the blue gene.
		The genetic code for a blue is dd for the word dilute since the blue gene is a dilute gene of the color fl (not from the solid fl pattern, but the fl color that you see in a standard GSD such as fl & tan saddle back or a fl sable).

		Since this Blue gene is recessive they will not show the color Blue but do have the ability to pass this it on to their offspring.
		The difference between the Blue and the Liver gene is that Blue is a dilution of the fl pigment.
		The Blue gene is different from the liver gene in that it occurs in different areas in the gene (more specifically different areas of the loci) which means that a dog can carry both the blue and liver gene at the same time.

		For there was Gene Marshall in a blue spotlight, dressed in a blue gown that fairly cascaded down her svelte figure.

	IBM gives glimpse of Blue Gene performance \| Tech News on ZDNet
		Blue Gene/L is a somewhat exotic machine that's the first phase of an IBM project to tackle a so-far intractable computing problem in genetic research: using the laws of physics to predict how proteins fold from a long chain of building blocks into a complicated structure.
		Blue Gene/L's specialized processors currently run at 700MHz, but next year will be 40 percent faster, said Bill Pulleyblank, director of IBM's Deep Computing group and the executive overseeing the project.
		Blue Gene/L is slated for installation at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

		Researchers say the computer, nicknamed Blue Gene, could be operational within five years.
		Blue Gene's first assignment will be to solve the biological conundrum that scientists call the "protein-folding problem." In the human body, proteins are the bundles of amino acids that control all cellular processes, carrying out basic functions like metabolizing food.
		This will be the first time that a machine of such immense power has been unleashed on a single scientific problem, and Dr. Paul Horn, senior vice president of IBM Research, believes that Blue Gene is destined to change the way doctors do business in the future.

		The key to Blue Gene's ability to extract such performance out of such a small amount of real estate is the embedded PowerPC processor that IBM researchers have designed for the machine.
		The system-on-a-chip approach means that Blue Gene's nodes do not contain the kind of features typically found in commodity systems--disk drives or sound cards or microphone jacks--and require far less space and power than other computers.
		Blue Gene's heat management is further enhanced by a unique design that will give the supercomputer a tilted look, like a row of dominos simultaneously tilted to one side.

	Blue Gene and the PetaFLOP promise: ZDNet Australia: News: Hardware
		IBM, whose Deep Blue technology succeeded in battling world chess champion Gary Kasparov to a draw several years ago, used that specialised technology as the basis of the five-year, US$400 million RandD effort that begat Blue Gene and finally broke Earth Simulator's lock on the top spot.
		Scientists and researchers are finding Blue Gene's power so appealing, in fact, that IBM is now mass-producing the systems (in a relative sense; only 16 of the machines currently exist) from its Rochester, Minnesota server factory.
		Blue Gene is more than 60% cooler than power-hungry Intel-based servers, which run hot enough that cooling the systems has become more complicated than building them.
