Linux Tops The Top 500
The latest incarnation of the
TOP500 List was released during the
20th International Supercomputer Conference (ISC2005) which took place from June 21st to 24th in Heidelberg, Germany. Linux runs on the top 3, and powers 8 out of the top 10 (the other 2 are System V derived proprietary Unix operating systems). The top computer is the PPC64-based BlueGene/L in Livermore, United States.
