It is this emphasis on reliability, scalability and low power consumption that draws the interest of NNSA to this machine and its architecture. Moreover, Blue Gene/Q is expected to become the world’s most power-efficient computer, churning out 2 gigaflops per watt. Argonne is one of the DOE’s oldest and largest labs for science and engineering research, located outside of Chicago.

Exascale computing has the potential to address a class of highly complex workloads that have been beyond traditional reach, not just due to their sheer size, but because of their inherent uncertainties and unpredictability – areas such as hurricane prediction and climate modeling. Blue Gene/Q represents the next step in this HPC evolution.

It’s always had beautiful images, and breathing a little life into those images through video seemed like a natural evolution for the home page. Because a teacher’s job requires long hours preparing lessons, individualizing instruction and connecting with parents, having the technology tools they need to complete this work outside the classroom becomes essential.
