===Installations===
The following is an incomplete list of Blue Gene/P installations. Per November 2009, the [[TOP500]] list contained 15 Blue Gene/P installations of 2-racks (2048 nodes, 8192 processor cores, 23.86&nbsp;[[FLOPS|TFLOPS]] [[Linpack]]) and larger.<ref name=Top500/>
* On November 12, 2007, the first Blue Gene/P installation, [[JUGENE]], with 16 racks (16,384 nodes, 65,536 processors) was running at [[Forschungszentrum Jülich]] in [[Germany]] with a performance of 167&nbsp;TFLOPS.<ref>{{cite news | title =Supercomputing: Jülich Amongst World Leaders Again | publisher = IDG News Service | date = 2007-11-12 | url=http://www.pressebox.de/pressemeldungen/ibm-deutschland-gmbh-4/boxid-136200.html}}</ref> When inaugurated it was the fastest supercomputer in Europe and the sixth fastest in the world. In 2009, JUGENE was upgraded to 72 racks (73,728 nodes, 294,912 processor cores) with 144 terabytes of memory and 6 petabytes of storage, and achieved a peak performance of 1 PetaFLOPS. This configuration incorporated new air-to-water heat exchangers between the racks, reducing the cooling cost substantially.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/26657.wss |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090212135256/http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/26657.wss |url-status=dead |archive-date=February 12, 2009 |title=IBM Press room - 2009-02-10 New IBM Petaflop Supercomputer at German Forschungszentrum Juelich to Be Europe's Most Powerful |publisher=03.ibm.com |date=2009-02-10 |access-date=2011-03-11}}</ref> JUGENE was shut down in July 2012 and replaced by the Blue Gene/Q system [[JUQUEEN]].

* In 2012, a 6-rack Blue Gene/P was installed at [[Rice University]] and will be jointly administered with the [[University of São Paulo]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://news.rice.edu/2012/03/30/rice-university-ibm-partner-to-bring-first-blue-gene-supercomputer-to-texas/|title=Rice University, IBM partner to bring first Blue Gene supercomputer to Texas|website=news.rice.edu|access-date=2012-04-01|archive-date=2012-04-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120405051308/http://news.rice.edu/2012/03/30/rice-university-ibm-partner-to-bring-first-blue-gene-supercomputer-to-texas/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
* A 2.5 rack Blue Gene/P system is the central processor for the Low Frequency Array for Radio astronomy ([[Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR)|LOFAR]]) project in the Netherlands and surrounding European countries. This application uses the streaming data capabilities of the machine.
* A 2-rack Blue Gene/P was installed in September 2008 in [[Sofia]], [[Bulgaria]], and is operated by the [[Bulgarian Academy of Sciences]] and [[Sofia University]].<ref>[http://dnes.dir.bg/2008/09/09/news3363693.html#sepultura Вече си имаме и суперкомпютър] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091223090815/http://dnes.dir.bg/2008/09/09/news3363693.html#sepultura |date=2009-12-23 }}, Dir.bg, 9 September 2008</ref>
* In 2010, a 2-rack (8192-core) Blue Gene/P was installed at the [[University of Melbourne]] for the [[Victorian Life Sciences Computation Initiative]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www-03.ibm.com/press/au/en/pressrelease/29383.wss |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120716051136/http://www-03.ibm.com/press/au/en/pressrelease/29383.wss |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 16, 2012 |title=IBM Press room - 2010-02-11 IBM to Collaborate with Leading Australian Institutions to Push the Boundaries of Medical Research - Australia |publisher=03.ibm.com |date=2010-02-11 |access-date=2011-03-11}}</ref>
