Sumario:The article focuses on the Blue Waters programming system that provides sustained petaflops performance on various scientific applications. It reportedly features the Power7 chip with its 8 cores, each of which has a 32-kilobyte L1 instruction and data caches and a 256-kilobyte L2 unified cache. It is stated that software developers in the Blue Waters system will move toward an expanded Eclipse-based integrated environment.
