Seriously? Why does IBM have to make everything so difficult? Take
GPFS. It was originally called MMFS for Multimedia filesystem, then
GPFS for General Parallel Filesystem. A couple of years ago they
decided to market it as a hardware/software solution called GPFS
Storage Server, or GSS. Apparently, that didn't have enough
buzzwordiness to it, so they changed it to ESS, for Elastic Storage
Server. As if that wasn't enough, then they had to confuse their
current and future customers by changing the name yet again to
Spectra-scale. And yes, I am annoyed by all this! <br>
<br>
What's really ironic is that IBM is one of the leaders brand
management/corporate identity, so you'd think they'd see the value
in sticking with a name. <br>
<br>
Rant over. <br>

By my opinion, PowerPC A2 more exactly should be used as name for
*core*, not for IBM BlueGene/Q *processor chip*.<br>
"Power BQC" name is used in TOP500, GREEN500, in a lot of Internet
data, in IBM journal - see:<br>

PowerPC A2 is the core, see //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Gene<br>
