Titan Tops Top500 Supercomputing List 52
miller60 writes "The new Top500 list of the world's most powerful supercomputers is out, and the new champion is Titan, the new and improved system that previously ruled the Top500 as Jaguar. Oak Ridge Labs' Titan knocked Livermore Labs' Sequoia system out of the top spot, with a Linpack benchmark of more than 17 petaflops. Check out the full list, or an illustrated guide to the top 10."

Sorry to be pedantic, but "petaflops a second" is redundant -- FLOPS means "floating-point operations per second."

The obvious question "which are running Linux" is almost impossible to answer. Are they sponsored by Microsoft? However, you can use the "sublist" feature to make a list of the first 500 computers and limit to "Linux" as operating system. The list contains 469 entries, and the first number that is missing from this list is "38".
Huh.
So while it will refuse to actually show the OS, the sublisting feature makes it able to wrestle it out indirectly.
