      Availability of Systems

The IBM Blue Gene/P is available for selected projects which run massively parallel application codes scaling up to several thousands of processors.

Projects/applications that may be selected must meet the demands described in Allocation of Computing Resources on BG/P .

Users on the Blue Gene/P system must have a valid account on the IBM p6 575 cluster (JUMP).
General information about allocation of computing resources is available as well as online forms for resource allocation.

For more information refer to publications and JSC documentation about
IBM Blue Gene/P .
