1999 - Blue Gene Supercomputer Project
In December 1999, IBM announced $100 million research initiative of a five-year effort to build a massively parallel computer. The Blue Gene® supercomputer line was born from a visionary IBM initiative to develop a hugely scalable and highly reliable scientific computing platform. The breakthrough BlueGene supercomputer design uses many small, low-power embedded chips each connected through five specialized networks inside the system. Today Blue Gene ranks as the number one, number four, number five, and number seven fastest supercomputers on the TOP500 list along with 9 other entries in the top 50, and 23 entries in the top 100.
