Resource allocation and utilization in the Blue Gene/L supercomputer
2005
IBM Journal of Research and Development
This paper describes partition allocation for parallel jobs in the Blue Genet/L supercomputer. It describes the novel network architecture of the Blue Gene/L (BG/L) three-dimensional (3D) computational core and presents a preliminary analysis of its properties and advantages compared those of with more traditional systems. The scalability challenge is solved in BG/L by sacrificing granularity of system management. The system is treated as a collection of composite allocation units that contain
