Big Blue's big bet.

Reports on research at the IBM Thomas J. Watson research center in Yorktown Heights, New York on building a powerful computer called Blue Gene. Intention for the supercomputer to help biologists explore how proteins fold themselves into their distinctive shapes; Problems in parallel computing; Deta...
