IBM's Blue Gene/L System once again ranks as the fastest computer in the world, coming in at first place on the TOP500 Supercomputer Sites, an organization that ranks the world's most powerful systems. The results were announced Monday at the SC07 Conference, held in Reno, Nev. Located at the Lawren...
Appro, a Milipitas, Calif.-based provider of enterprise servers, storage and workstations, has announced its completion of the first of four super computer Linux clusters for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Named "Rhea," the Infiniband cluster features 576 AMD Opteron 8000 Series processors ...
U.S. and Russian scientists on Monday announced they have created the newest super-heavy element, element 118. Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, in collaboration with researchers from Dubna, the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Russia, discovered the element during experim...
IBM's speed in the supercomputer world remains unchallenged today. The company not only maintained its hold on the top ranking spot among all supercomputers with its Blue Gene/L System, which doubled its own speed in the Top500 biannual listing of the world's fastest machines, but Big Blue built the...
In what has become a closely watched event in the world of high-performance computing, IBM's BlueGene/L System this week was named the fastest computer in the world on the Top500 supercomputer rankings. BlueGene/L is a joint development of IBM and the Department of Energy's (DOE) National Nuclear Se...
In what has become a closely watched event in the world of high-performance computing, IBM's BlueGene/L System yesterday was named the fastest computer in the world on the Top500 supercomputer rankings. BlueGene/L is a joint development of IBM and the Department of Energy's (DOE) National Nuclear Se...
Looking to match the kind of computing power it created in the BlueGene/L supercomputer -- a supercomputing system made up over more than 130,000 processors -- IBM launched this week what it called the fastest privately-owned supercomputer in the world. The system is sister to BlueGene, dubbed "BGW,...
The IBM supercomputer BlueGene/L has done it again, almost doubling its already world record-breaking speed to 183.5 teraflops -- or 183.5 trillion floating point calculations -- per second. The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) is building the computer to help simulate the condition o...
IBM has taken an experiment -- Blue Gene/L, the world's fastest supercomputer -- and turned it into a commercial, albeit expensive, off-the-shelf product. The Blue Gene project began five years ago with the goal of creating a family of supercomputers that could have more commercial applications beca...
U.S. supercomputing efforts are making up for the country's earlier loss of the speed title to the Japanese Earth Simulator, with two new systems poised to garner top spots on the Top500 Supercomputer list due out next week. The U.S. Department of Energy this week announced that the IBM BlueGene/L ...
