IBM A team comprised of members from Bell-Labs, IBM Research, Sandia National Labs, and Vita Nuova has completed a port of Plan 9 to the Blue Gene supercomputer. Plan 9 kernels are running on both the compute nodes and the I/O nodes and the Ethernet, Torus, Collective Network, Barrier Network, and Management network are all supported. Screenshots are available on the development blog, and a live-demo will be attempted during the USENIX poster session.

yes. Inferno is running over Plan 9 along with the rest of the standard Plan 9 apps. We also have Inferno kernels that work natively on BG/l, but we don't have device support in them (yet).
