ABSTRACT
The TOP500 project was launched in 1993 to provide a reliable basis for tracking and detecting trends in high performance computing. Twice a year, a list of the sites operating the world's 500 most powerful computer systems is compiled and released. The best performance on the Linpack benchmark is used as the measurement for ranking the computer systems. The list contains a variety of information including the systems' specifications and major application areas. Information on all 30 TOP500 lists issued to date is available at: www.top500.org
