- IBM System Blue Gene Solution: Application Development, SG24-7179-04
- This IBM Redbooks publication is one in a series of IBM publications written specifically for the IBM System Blue Gene Solution, Blue Gene/L, which was developed by IBM in collaboration with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). It provides an overview of the application development environment for Blue Gene/L. This book explains the instances where Blue Gene/L is unique in its programming environment. It does not delve into great depth about the technologies that are commonly used in the supercomputing industry, such as Message Passing Interface (MPI) and Aggregate Remote Memory Copy Interface (ARMCI). References are provided in those instances so you can find more information if desired.
- Unfolding the IBM eServer Blue Gene Solution, SG24-6686-00
- The IBM eServer Blue Gene Solution is a commercial version of the research project, and Blue Gene/L represents a new entrant in the IBM Deep Computing Portfolio. This IBM Redbook will help you to design and create a solution for migrating and porting existing applications to run on the IBM eServer Blue Gene system. It is targeted to application designers and programmers working in a High Performance Computing environment. The book is composed of three parts. In the first part we present an architectural overview of the IBM eServer Blue Gene Solution, and describe the design principles underlying this revolutionary supercomputer. In the second part we summarize general guidelines for identifying the structure of your application. Because simple application recompilation may not efficiently exploit the massively parallel structure of this system, we identify and classify the application characteristics you need to consider for efficient implementation on the IBM eServer Blue Gene System. In the final part, we describe several application porting experiences tested during this project. Note that these experiences are presented for reference only, and that the applications were not completely optimized for running on this supercomputer. Nevertheless, they provide valuable insight into what you can expect when running your application on a Blue Gene system.
- Blue Gene/L: Performance Analysis Tools, SG24-7278-00
- This IBM Redbook is one in a series of IBM publications written specifically for the IBM System Blue Gene supercomputer, Blue Gene/L, which was developed by IBM in collaboration with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). This redbook provides an overview of the application development performance analysis environment for Blue Gene/L. This redbook explains some of the tools that are available to do application-level performance analysis. It devotes the majority of its content to Chapter 3, "External Performance Instrumentation Facility" and Chapter 4, "Performance Application Programming Interface."
- Evolution of the IBM System Blue Gene Solution, REDP-4247-00 (Draft)
- This Redpaper discusses the evolution of IBM® System Blue Gene® Solution to the new generation, IBM® System Blue Gene® /P Solution. It contains an overview that identifies improvements at the user and administrative levels. At the hardware level we discuss such things as the increased size, power consumption and airflow. On the software side we preview the improvements to the control system and job submission process.
