In this video from SC12, Scott Lasica from Rogue Wave Software discusses the company’s new Totalview programming tools for IBM Blue Gene/Q supercomputers with a million processing cores or more.

The IBM Blue Gene/Q pushes the edge of technology by providing a leadership-class supercomputer that has a homogenous multi-core architecture and relatively low power consumption. On the June 2012 TOP500® list of supercomputers, four of the top ten supercomputers were Blue Gene/Q’s.
