JUQUEEN

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

JUQUEEN was a supercomputer type BlueGene / Q at Forschungszentrum Jülich . JUQEEN was the successor to JUGENE and was put into operation in 2012.

JUQUEEN had a total of 458,752 IBM PowerPC- A2 cores that were operated at 1.6 GHz. The 458,752 cores were distributed over 28 racks, each with 2 midplanes, each accommodating 16 node boards. Each node board provided 32 nodes with 16 cores. Each node had 16 GB of RAM , so JUQUEEN had a total of 448 TB of RAM and a peak performance of 5.9 petaflops or 5.0 petaflops in the Linpack .

The power consumption was 60–70 kW per rack.

JUQUEEN should be used by researchers in the fields of quantum physics, climate science, materials and energy research as well as brain research and engineering.

JUQEEN was shut down in May 2018 after six years of operation and replaced by the successor JUWELS .
