IBM Blue Gene
With 1,024 compute nodes, 128 I/O nodes and rated at 4.7 teraflops,
Blue Gene is intended to support data intensive computing. It
provides a glimpse into the future of cost-effective compute power
in a small package.To apply for time on Blue Gene, contact the AAP coordinator. |

The Benefits of Using AAP
- Early access for candidates new to SDSC systems.
- Full access to technical support from SDSC User Services including consulting and training.
- SDSC computing resources may be used for classes taught by UC faculty.
- Priority seating available at SDSC workshops.
- 1-2 day onsite workshops at UC campuses upon request.
- 1-2 week internship programs for selected research groups; one per campus per year.
Additional Opportunities
The Strategic Applications Collaborations (SAC) program pairs academic researchers with SDSC staff to accelerate the researchers' efforts and to enable new science on relatively short timescales (3-12 months).
