Welcome to the Argonne BlueGene/L Computer Resource Area
The Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) of Argonne
National Laboratory operates BGL, a 1024 node, 2048 processor
IBM BlueGene/L system. This system is to be used for scientific
computing, application porting, system software development and
scaling studies.
- To request an account on the BGL System, use the MCS account
request page and select the BGL resource:
"Requesting a MCS account" page.
- For startup information on using BGL, see the
"Getting Started" page.
- Experienced users should jump directly to the "Using BGL" pages.
- Users and developers should check out the
ANL BGL Wiki.
This Wiki, run by MCS, is an open, shared resource for tips,
configuration details, application porting tips, software, and
tools.
Argonne is leading a consortium of laboratory and university research
groups that are interested in the evaluation and early use of the
BlueGene family of HPC systems. The mission of the consortium is to
build a community of BG/L expertise that will foster the rapid
scientific adoption of BG/L and develop experience in order to provide
critical feedback to the architects and designers of the BG/P
follow-on system.
For information about the Consortium and its activites, please
visit the BGConsortium
web site.
