IBM said in a statement on January 24 that Moscow State University has bought a Blue Gene supercomputer in the first sale of such technology to a former Soviet republic, Reuters reported from Moscow. The news agency noted that the "device is capable of 27.8 trillion operations per second [and will be used] in research on nanotechnology and [other] scientific applications, such as modeling the heart." The U.S. government uses versions of Blue Gene that Reuters described as almost 20 times more powerful than the model approved for sale to Russia. PM
