BlueGene/L is a massively parallel computer system being developed at IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, in collaboration with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The BlueGene/L program targets a machine with 65,536 nodes, with a peak performance of 360 trillion floating-point operations per second (360 TFLOP/s). It is expected to deliver previously unattainable levels of performance for a wide range of scientific applications, such as molecular dynamics, turbulence modeling, and three-dimensional dislocation dynamics. The talk will present details of the BlueGene/L machine and will discuss the plans of the BlueGene program to reach a petaflops computer.
