New Green500 list
He has published a new list of computer facilities with greater energy efficiency, the list Green500 .
IBM continues to dominate the top of this list, noting that the top six are for facilities based on PowerXCell 8i processors.
Seventh place for a team with the unusual architecture GRAPE-DR , and just after the first computer with x86_64 architecture, accelerated by ATI Radeon HD.
The following fifteen infrastructure solutions based on IBM Blue Gene / P.
Cray heads the new Top500 list
The new TOP500 list was published today. With it comes the surprise of IBM is not first, but has been Cray supercomputer Jaguar.
Jaguar has built for the computer science center of Oak Ridge. It is built on AMD 6-core Istanbul , for a total of 1,759,000 GFlops (224 162 nuclei).
Other headlines :
402 systems use Intel processors.
427 are carried x86 quad-core processors.
IBM is a leader in installed capacity, 35%, followed by HP, Cray and SGI.
Linux in the top500
It's no secret that the family Unix / Linux are probably the most flexible systems out there, we can find on a mobile phone, a mini-laptop, to clusters up to what we know as "super-computers." As many of you know in www.top500.org can find information about these monsters of computing, and looking specifically the section on operating systems encuetro me (not surprising) that Linux is the kernel / s or more million dollar machines used in these with a use rate of 77.8%. We can find other systems very unusual with a small share and finally with 1% Ms representation (0.80% + 0.20%).
Will the Microsoft products that are clearly focused on other markets such as home, SME, working groups rather than to the flexibility and performance? If so this policy is not one that benefits millions of users of its operating systems? Microsoft should extend its range of products reaching all possible aspects? If many do not consider Linux mature enough as it is possible that this itself has come to play any role?
