| 73 | 75 | The IBM Blue Gene\cite{DBLP:journals/ibmrd/GaraBCCCGHHHKLOSTV05} series of supercomputers, among the fastest in the world, are also unique in that they are purpose built from the chip to the system level. In contrast to other systems which use a standard off-the-shelf CPU placed on a motherboard and connected to network chips, IBM has embedded network functionality on the CPU as shown in Figure \ref{bglchip}. These CPUs are then packaged into boards which consist of little more than DRAM and a connector, and from there to full systems.The result is a greatly simplified system which, in turn, is extremely reliable; the BG/L system at Lawrence Livermore National Lab, with 128,000 CPUs, has an average uptime of 10 days. The term uptime in this case means that after 10 days, {\em everything} is still working; any failure of any subsystem, down to a single DRAM cell, counts as an interrupt. |

It is possible to use a general-purpose operating system for I/O and still achieve high performance. While we are not yet equalling the user-level MPI libraries, we are coming from behind, as the user-level libraries and associated network hardware have benefited from 20 years of co-design. |
