Power-aware scheduling of virtual machines in DVFS-enabled clusters (2009, background): “For example, a 360-Tflops supercomputer (such as IBM Blue Gene/L) with conventional processors requires 20 MW to operate, which is approximately equal to the sum of 22,000 US households power consumption [1], [2].”
Many-task computing for grids and supercomputers (2008, background): “Two other systems that get good compute power per watt consumed are the SiCortex with 0.32 GF/watt and the Blue Gene/L with 0.23 GF/watt.”
The cat is out of the bag: cortical simulations with 109 neurons, 1013 synapses (2009, background): “Towards brain-like cognitive computers, a cortical simulator is a critical enabling technology to test hypotheses of brain structure, dynamics and function, and to interact as an embodied being with virtual or real environments.”
Simulation of networks of spiking neurons: A review of tools and strategies (2006, neutral): “BG/L (Gara et al. 2005) represents a new breed of cluster computers where the number of processors, instead of the computational performance of individual processors, is the key to higher total performance.”
