IBM Research © 2006 IBM Corporation ASTRON LOFAR (LOw Frequency ARray) digitizes 10- 240 MHz signals from an array of simple omni-directional antennas and processes the data on a central computer system to emulate a conventional dish antenna STELLA (Supercomputing Technology for Linked Lofar Applications) uses 6144 dual-CPU compute nodes of eServer Blue Gene® providing 27.45 Tf/sec  Blue Gene enables LOFAR to provide higher resolution and sensitivity than any other low-frequency radio telescope  Digital techniques provide extreme agility in frequency and pointing  Multi-beaming capability allows simultaneous, full-sensitivity observations in widely separated directions  High-bandwidth, fiber-optic network handles terabits/second  Data buffers provide powerful, multi-steradian look-back capability

3. IBM Research © 2006 IBM Corporation The first objective of the "Blue Brain Project" is to create a cellular level, software replica of the Neocortical Column for real-time simulations. Blue Brain will search for new insights into how human beings think and remember, and how specific defects in our circuitry may contribute to autism, schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease. With Blue Brain, research inquiries that used to require several years of laboratory work can now be done in a matter of days, or even minutes. Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne

Watson Research Center IBM has a team of life sciences researchers developing Blue Matter – application software used to run simulations of protein dynamics on Blue Gene. They are now running production science experiments on membrane proteins. Experiments that were taking a month or more on a conventional system are now taking a few days on Blue Gene.
