Top 10 Supercomputers of Today

One of the questions in most of the quizzes we find is on the Supercomputers
Here is a list I found in Chip Magazine, this is as of February 2004

  1. BlueGene/ L DD2 Beta-system (IBM)- 70.7 TFLOPS
  2. Columbia (NASA) – 51.9 TFLOPS
  3. Earth Simulator (NEC, Japan) – 40 TFLOPS
  4. MareNostrum(Barcelona Supercomputer Center) – approximately 40 TFLOPS too
  5. Thunder(Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) – 19.9 TFLOPS
  6. ASCI Q (Los Alamos National Laboratory) – 13.9 TFLOPS
  7. System X (Virginia Tech)- 12.25 TFLOPS
  8. BlueGene/L DD1 Prototype (IBM) – 11.7 TFLOPS
  9. eServer pSeries 655 cluster (Naval Oceanographic Office) – 10.3 TFLOPS
  10. Tungsten (NCSA) – 9.8 TFLOPS

FLOPS- floating-point operations per second
For more information on these, Check out Chip Magazine Feb 2005, i know its a bit late
