Blue BrainThe first objective of the Blue Brain is to create a cellular level, software replica of the Neocortical Column for real-time simulations.

Blue Brain will search for:• New insights into how human beings think and

remember.• How specific defects in our circuitry may

contribute to autism, schizophrenia and Parkinson's.

With Blue Brain, research that used to require several years of lab work can be done in a matter of days or minutes – using Blue Gene.

A project of Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.

ASTRON

LOFAR

(LOw Frequency ARray) digitizes 10-240 MHz signals from an

array of simple omni-directional antennas and processes the data on a central computer system to

emulate a conventional dish antenna

STELLA

(Supercomputing TEchnology for Linked Lofar Applications) uses

6144 dual-CPU compute nodes of eServer Blue Gene® providing

27.45 Tflops/sec

Blue Gene enables LOFAR to provide higher resolution and sensitivity than any other low-frequency radio telescope.

Digital techniques provide extreme agility in frequency and pointing.

Multi-beaming capability allows simultaneous, full-sensitivity observations in widely separated directions.

High-bandwidth, fiber-optic network handles terabits/second.Data buffers provide powerful, multi-steradian look-back

capability.

Multi-Core Acceleration Capability: Cell Broadband Engine™

Cell Broadband Engine “Supercomputer & Network on a Chip”

1 PPE + 8 Synergistic Processing Elements (SPE) cores

– simple PPU micro-architecture– 8 SPU SIMD engines provide tremendous

compute power-25.6 SP GFlops per SPU

Element Interconnect Bus (EIB) for intra-BE and external communications
