The ABINIT Users Mailing List ( CLOSED )

Well, yes. Our group made some calculations on an IBM Blue Gene. We have
been testing our brandly new introduced parallelization over
perturbations with around 500 CPU's
I don't know exactly what you are looking for, but if you need some help
in compilation of Abinit on the Bluegene I can provide you a self made
configure script.

Regards,
Markus Franke
