TOP500 Supercomputer Sites - 16th Edition (2000)
Abstract:
To provide a better basis for statistics on high-performance computers, we list the sites that have the 500 most powerful computer systems installed. The best Linpack benchmark performance achieved is used as a performance measure in ranking the computers. 1 Introduction and Objectives Statistics on high-performance computers are of major interest to manufacturers, users, and potential users. These people wish to know not only the number of systems installed, but also the location of the various supercomputers within the high-performance computing community and the applications for which a computer system is being used. Such statistics can facilitate the establishment of collaborations, the exchange of data and software, and provide a better understanding of the high-performance computer market. Statistical lists of supercomputers are not new. Every year since 1986 Hans Meuer [1] has published system counts of the major vector computer manufacturers, based principally on those at the ...
