    The document discusses the Blue Gene/Q supercomputer. It is part of IBM's Blue Gene computer architecture project, which aims to produce supercomputers capable of petaflop speeds. Blue Gene/Q is the latest version and uses massively parallel processing across 32,768 processors to achieve over 1 petaflop of computing power while costing over $100 million. It held the top spot on the top500 supercomputers list in 2008. The document outlines technical features and provides examples of applications for Blue Gene/Q such as DNA/protein research, climate simulation, financial analysis, and other scientific domains.

    INTRODUCTION
    Focus for this talk

    This talk is on BlueGene/Q Technology and Real Life Applications General literature presents mixed push on capacity& capability Both are very important by capability pushes the technical and scientific envelope.
    Nevertheless, Petaflop systems are simply a matter of (not too much) time
