Last night, IBM made a big announcement about Blue Gene/Q on the exhibit floor at SC11 in Seattle. Today, they are presenting a couple of papers and otherwise publicizing BG/Q. This means the lifting of the nondisclosure requirement for details of BG/Q hardware, software, and performance. I will be giving a presentation at the Argonne booth at SC on Wednesday at 11:30, which will discuss preparing applications for Mira. This will include some early performance numbers from the various ESP projects, and performance numbers for codes used as part of our contract with IBM—many of which are used by ESP projects. I’ll put those slides online at the ESP website (http://esp.alcf.anl.gov) tonight or tomorrow morning.
