[ TOP500 ]

The TOP500 list shows the 500 most powerful computer systems. This list has been compiled twice a year since June 1993, and becomes an important information resource for tracking and detecting trends in high-performance computing. In this list, computers are ranked by their performance on the LINPACK Benchmark. The Linpack Benchmark is a measure of a computer¡¯s floating-point rate of execution on solving a dense system of linear equations. In the following tables, the computers are ordered according to their ranks appeared in the current Top500 list (June 2003).
