The next list will be issued in conjunction with Supercomputing in Salt Lake City, UT this year (this list issued at ISC in Hamburg).
This is my field, and it’s great to see IBM and Intel so dominant (won’t say why here.....). :)

impressive 16.32 petaflop/s on the Linpack benchmark using 1,572,864 cores
Impressive would be to have the 16.32 petaflops achieved by a one CPU single core system.
In a few weeks, the IBM system will be eclipsed by some other system, where somebody put together a system with just a few more cores. That's the super-computing paradigm nowadays, where a supercomputer is defined by the number of cores that someone can string together.

The U.S. is clearly the leading consumer of HPC systems with 253 of the 500 systems (down from 263). If it weren't for weapons simulations I wonder where we would be. Supercomputers don't buy votes, so politicians are unlikely to approve them.

To hell with the flops tests. The real test is how fast can it boot Win 8!!
