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."

    Pitty they don't have one of the top500 running the website. It seems to be going rather slowly at the moment...

    This makes me wonder why Google is not on this list.
