* [[Veselin Topalov]], the challenger to the [[World Chess Championship 2010|World Chess Champion]] title in 2010, confirmed in an interview that he had used a Blue Gene/P supercomputer during his preparation for the match.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://players.chessdom.com/veselin-topalov/topalov-blue-gene-p|title=Topalov training with super computer Blue Gene P|website=Players.chessdo.com|access-date=13 October 2017|archive-date=19 May 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130519190040/http://players.chessdom.com/veselin-topalov/topalov-blue-gene-p|url-status=dead}}</ref>
* The Blue Gene/P computer has been used to simulate approximately one percent of a human cerebral cortex, containing 1.6 billion [[neuron]]s with approximately 9 trillion connections.<ref>Kaku, Michio. [[Physics of the Future]] (New York: Doubleday, 2011), 91.</ref>
* The [[IBM Kittyhawk]] project team has ported Linux to the compute nodes and demonstrated generic Web 2.0 workloads running at scale on a Blue Gene/P. Their paper, published in the ACM Operating Systems Review, describes a kernel driver that tunnels Ethernet over the tree network, which results in all-to-all [[TCP/IP]] connectivity.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.research.ibm.com/kittyhawk/ |title=Project Kittyhawk: A Global-Scale Computer|website=Research.ibm.com|access-date=13 October 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://weather.ou.edu/~apw/projects/kittyhawk/kittyhawk.pdf |title=Project Kittyhawk: Building a Global-Scale Computer |first1=Jonathan |last1=Appavoo |first2=Volkmar |last2=Uhlig |first3=Amos |last3=Waterland |publisher=IBM T.J.

* In 2011, a Rutgers University / IBM / University of Texas team linked the [[KAUST]] [[Shaheen (supercomputer)|Shaheen]] installation together with a Blue Gene/P installation at the [[IBM Watson Research Center]] into a "federated high performance computing cloud", winning the IEEE SCALE 2011 challenge with an oil reservoir optimization application.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.rutgers.edu/medrel/special-content/summer-2011/rutgers-led-experts-20110706 |title=Rutgers-led Experts Assemble Globe-Spanning Supercomputer Cloud |website=News.rutgers.edu |date=2011-07-06 |access-date=2011-12-24 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111110044858/http://news.rutgers.edu/medrel/special-content/summer-2011/rutgers-led-experts-20110706 |archive-date=2011-11-10 }}</ref>
