IBM SP RS/6000 (babyblue): 1999–2005
 |
The first IBM SP (babyblue) was delivered to NCAR on 25 June 1999. It was a single-frame system with 16 Winterhawk-I nodes (32 Power3 processors), 1 gigabyte of memory per node, and approximately 200 gigabytes ofdisk capacity.
The system was used by SCD to familiarize system administrators, consultants, and other staff with the IBM SP and AIX environments. It was used to install and test software upgrades before they were put into production on blackforest, the large SP system. Babyblue was also available for use by any user having access to blackforest.
