GAIA is a recently developed IBM POWER6 supercomputer consisting of 24 SMP compute nodes with 64-way processors each, and it is currently ranked 393 on the Top500 supercomputer list published in November 2009. In this paper, we present the performance characteristics of GAIA evaluated by interconnecting the 24 computing nodes with low-latency InfiniBand network. We evaluate the performance of the new dual-core Power 595 system in terms of increased problem size using the multizone
