Dear All,

 

Some nice presentation by the BBC of the Top500 list.

 

It’s not news that Linux powers most of the world’s fastest supercomputers, but have you ever actually seen the list? I was not aware that there was an organization set up to track all those supercomputers and publish the details, but today I found Top500 Supercomputer sites and its latest Top500 list for June 2010. BBC News has a very cool graphical representation of the list.
