Book description
This document is one of a series of IBM® Redbooks®
written specifically for the IBM System Blue Gene®
supercomputer, IBM Blue Gene/Q®. Blue Gene/Q is the third
generation of massively parallel supercomputers from IBM in the
Blue Gene series. This document provides an overview of components
that comprise a Blue Gene/Q system. It helps System Planners and
Customer Engineers plan for the installation of the Blue Gene/Q
system. Information is provided about the physical requirements for
the machine room where the Blue Gene/Q system is to be located.
Examples of these requirements include floor (weight and cutouts),
cooling, and electrical specifications.
