- Designing a Highly-Scalable Operating System: The Blue Gene/L Story
- Blue Gene/L is currently the world's fastest and most scalable supercomputer. It has demonstrated essentially linear scaling all the way to 131,072 processors in several benchmarks and real applications. The operating systems for the compute and I/O nodes of Blue Gene/L are among the components responsible for that scalability. Compute...

- Blue Gene/L Torus Interconnection Network
- One of the most important features of a massively parallel supercomputer is the network that connects the processors together and allows the machine to operate as a large coherent entity. In Blue Gene/L (BG/L), the primary network for point-to-point messaging is a three-dimensional (3D) torus network. The main interconnect of...
