Jugene - Europe Fastest SuperComputer

Foto set of Jugene, Europe's fatest Supercomputer. Jugene is capable of a massive one trillion computing operations per second.

Here are some facts about the Jugene supercomputer:
* Based on IBM’s Blue Gene/P architecture.
* Computing capacity: 1 petaflop/second.
* That equals the computing power of more than 50,000 PCs.
* 294,912 processor cores.
* Processor type: 32-bit PowerPC 450 at 850 MHz.
* 144 terabytes of RAM.
* Mounted in 72 racks.
* Network bandwidth: 5.1 gigabyte/second with a 160 nanosecond latency.
* Power input: 2.2 megawatts.

Installing Jugene - Looks like there was some cabling involved in the installation process. A LOT of it…







Packing those CPUs tightly together - Each of the Jugene’s 72 racks has 1024 compute nodes, where each node has 2 gigabyte of RAM (totaling 144 terabytes for the whole system). This is what the compute nodes look like and how they are packed together:
