	BlueGene is top gun in the world of supercomputers
		BlueGene is part of a package of three supercomputers that was bought from IBM for $230 million.
		BlueGene represents the United States' reclamation of supremacy in supercomputing, knocking out Japan's Earth Simulator last spring from the No. 1 spot in the Top 500 list of supercomputers, a compilation that is updated twice a year.
		BlueGene's system gulps 1.8 megawatts of electricity, which is enough to power as many as 1,800 homes.

	Forget Star Wars -- BlueGene Brightens Galaxy
		Using a protype of a new high-tech radio telescope (LOFAR), along with IBM's BlueGene supercomputer, the researchers showed that the radio flashes are produced in the Earth's atmosphere by the impact of the most energetic particles produced in the cosmos.
		The internal architecture of BlueGene is eminently suited to this purpose," said Eugène de Geus, ASTRON general affairs.
		The researchers were able to show that the strength of the emitted radio signal was a direct measure of the cosmic ray energy.

	NPR : Slow Processors Power Super-Speedy Computer
		The problem is that these fast processors use a lot of power, generate a lot of heat, and are hard to string together in an efficient way.
		BlueGene packs 131,000 processors into a space the size of a tennis court.
		BlueGene is a government machine that scientists will use to study classified things like atomic bomb blasts.

	E-Commerce News: Cutting Edge: IBM's BlueGene Tops List of Fastest Computers
		BlueGene set a record Linpack benchmark performance of 70.72 teraflops, or trillions of calculations per second.
		IBM formally introduced the eServer BlueGene to the market yesterday, marking a boon for Linux, the operating system on which the world's fastest supercomputer runs.
		BlueGene is closely followed by the Columbia system, which also runs Linux.

		IRL's contribution to the project is in the form of 'Compilers' wherein its researchers will write the C compiler for BlueGene computer.
		IRL is also writing programmes that will enable the processors to communicate via the interconnection network that connects the processors internally in the computer.
		Understanding of the protein folding phenomenon, Royyuru said, has been recognised as a 'grand challenge problem.' The next two years are critical for the BlueGene project as it is likely to make significant impact.

	IBM Claims Its BlueGene Supercomputer Is the Fastest
		BlueGene was able to achieve a sustained performance of 36.01 TFLOPS, overtaking the Earth Simulator, built by NEC, that had set a computing speed record in 2002.
		Unlike the Earth Simulator, which was built using custom components and considerably more expensive, BlueGene comprises a huge number of smaller custom units.
		The new IBM’s supercomputer is also much more compact in size than the Earth Simulator, occupying just one hundredth of the space.

	IBM Teams With DOE To Build Supercomputer 30X Faster Than BlueGene - VARBusiness (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		IBM is teaming up with the U.S. Department of Energy to build a supercomputer they expect to be 30 times more powerful than the fastest machine running today.
		Installed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, Calif., BlueGene has a Linpack performance of 280.6 teraflops.
		A second BlueGene system, the eServer BlueGene Solution system, installed at IBM's Thomas Watson Research Center and running 91.20 teraflops, is the third most powerful supercomputer in the world.

	BlueGene to help decipher corn genome
		To determine how a corn genome - the basic genetic structure of the plant - is put together, scientists must assemble more than 60 million bits of genetic material.
		Scientists are planning to use the $1.25 million IBM BlueGene supercomputer, unveiled yesterday, which has the equivalent processing power of more than 2,000 home computers and a storage capacity more than 1,000 times greater.
		It performs as many as 5.7 trillion calculations per second, said Srinivas Aluru, professor of electrical and computer engineering.
