25th TOP500 List Released

Chris Vaughan writes "The 25th edition of the TOP500 list of the world's fastest supercomputers was released today (June 22, 2005) at the 20th International Supercomputing Conference (ISC2005) in Heidelberg Germany. The No. 1 position was again claimed by the previously mentioned BlueGene/L System. At present, IBM and Hewlett-Packard sell the bulk of systems at all performance levels of the TOP500. The U.S is clearly the leading consumer of HPC systems with 294 of the 500 systems installed there (up from 267 six months ago)."

Slashdot has finally evolved to its ultimate form. A story "summary" that links only to a previous Slashdot article. If only this post consisted of only "FR1ST P0ST!", I could retire my userID.

A grand total of 25 machines. Versus 333 machines for Intel.

If I were an AMD fan.. I'd just say nothing :)
