New Top 500 List

Counting down from the top: BlueGene/L, BlueGene/P, Altix (quadcore), HP ib Cluster, HP ib Cluster, Cray Redstorm (XT2?), Cray XT3/4 hybrid, BlueGene eServer, Cray XT4 (YEAH! US!), & BlueGene eServer.

The top spot had a benchmarked 478 teraflops (mutter, mutter, Livermore, mutter). To make it in the top 10 you had to get 82 teraflops. To get onto the top 500 list at all required almost 6 teraflops now.

There are a lot of interesting statistics that you can dredge up. The US has 56.6% of the HPC machines in the world. Next down is...the UK at 9.6%, Germany 6.2%, and Japan 4%. Tawain has one more HPC platform than China does. I would love to see what Carlos et al could do with this list wrt economics. ;)

Browse around if you want to satisfy your HPC geekiness.
