Blue Gene/Q incorporates architectural advances that contribute to the system’s outstanding performance and help simplify programming. For example, hardware-based speculative execution capabilities facilitate efficient multi-threading for long code sections, even those with potential data dependencies. If conflicts are detected, the hardware can backtrack and redo the work without affecting application performance.
Since its inception in 2005, IBM student mainframe contests have run across 32 countries and attracted more than 43,000 student entries from 4,021 schools for thousands of prizes, like video game consoles, MP3 players, pre-paid debit cards, and trips to IBM’s Research & Development Centers to see the System z mainframe.
By taking a novel approach and beginning at the smallest unit of data storage, the atom, scientists demonstrated magnetic storage that is at least 100 times denser than today’s hard disk drives and solid state memory chips. In addition, only a few picoliters (one trillionth of a liter) of liquid containing antibodies are needed for each analysis spot.
The contract will provide “la Caixa” with access to new technologies and innovations to enhance its business development both in Spain and global markets and to position the bank as one of the leaders in utilizing new technologies in the financial sector such as mobility, social media and cloud computing.
