OT - The Top 500
http://www.top500.org/
I know that a few that post here (in one group, anyway) are with IBM. Kudos to them today. "IBM increased its dominance in the market for supercomputers used to solve the toughest research problems, claiming half of the world's Top 500 supercomputers .." (possibly from another source). "The No. 1 position was again claimed by the BlueGene/L System, a joint development of IBM and DOE’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and installed at DOE’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, Calif. BlueGene/L also occupied the No. 1 position on the last TOP500 list issued in November 2004. However, the system was doubled in size during the last six months and reached a new record Linpack benchmark performance of 136.8 TFlop/s ..." "Linux Rules Supercomputers" "An IBM supercomputer clocked as the world's fastest has surpassed its own speed record, the Energy Department reported Thursday." I'm just guessing here but I doubt that the NSA's secret systems were even considered ...... -- Cliff |
