Keep us posted, this sounds exciting. Also bummer Apple stole your name. Are you using GNU compilers on Blue Gene, or something else? Julia's makefiles need some cleaning up for non-GCC, non-Clang compilers, but it's hard to keep these cleanups up to date unless CI can regularly test using that compiler.
