Top 500 Supercomputer List Released

Posted by Hemos on from the ibm-moves-ahead dept.

sundling writes "The heavily anticipated Top 500 Supercomputer list has been released. There is a Sevenfold increase in AMD Opteron processors on the list. Two sections of an IBM prototype took spots in the top 10 and the famous Apple cluster didn't make the list, because it was out of service for hardware upgrades. When complete, the new IBM cluster is sure to take the top spot from the Earth Simulator."

    Virginia Tech's cluster isn't on the list, you idiot. They swapped the G5 towers out for XServes because they have ECC memory (which made the original cluster useless), and they haven't published a Linpack test since then.
