BlueGene/L Workshop

To familiarise potential users with the properties of BlueGene/L and to help them port their codes to use this new platform efficiently, ASTRON, the Computing Centre of the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen and IBM jointly organised a two day workshop aimed mainly at users who are familiar with issues related to the optimisation and parallelisation of their codes. Several experienced IBM developers provided details on BlueGeneÕs architecture and (software) infrastructure and to help users assess the potential benefit that they may expect from the LOFAR BlueGene/L.
