Part of the winning team accepting the 2013 Gordon Bell Prize.

IBM Blue Gene systems have helped map the human genome, flown airplanes, pinpointed tumors, predicted climate trends and we can now add simulated bubbles to the list — more precisely 15,000 of them. But this isn’t child’s play, in fact the research achieved a new supercomputing record and last night it was awarded the
