Computer Power for <strong>Bioinformatics</strong>/Computational Biology<br />

Blue Gene is an IBM Research project dedicated to exploring the<br />

frontiers in supercomputing:<br />

in computer architecture,<br />

in the software required to program and control massively parallel systems,<br />

and in the use of computation to advance our <strong>und</strong>erstanding of important biological processes<br />

such as protein folding.<br />

The Blue Gene/L machine was designed and built in collaboration with the Department of<br />

Energy's NNSA/Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, and the LLNL system<br />

has a peak speed of 596 Teraflops. Blue Gene systems occupy the #1 (LLNL Blue Gene/L)<br />

and a total of 4 of the top 10 positions in the TOP500 supercomputer list announced in November 2007.
