*the TOP500 project ranks + details the 500 most powerful (non-distributed) computer systems in the world*
.
(the project was started in 1993 and publishes an updated list of the ‘supercomputers’ twice a year)
.
(the first of these updates always coincides with the International Supercomputing Conference in June, and the second is presented in November at the ‘ACM/IEEE Supercomputing Conference’)
.
(the project aims to provide a reliable basis for tracking and detecting trends in ‘high-performance computing’ and bases rankings on HPL. a portable implementation of the high-performance LINPACK benchmark written in ‘fortran’ for ‘distributed-memory computers’)
.
(the ‘TOP500 list’ is compiled by…)
‘jack dongarra’
(of the ‘university of tennessee’ (knoxville))
.
‘erich strohmaier’ + ‘horst simon’
(of ‘NERSC/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’)
.
(and, from 1993 until his death in 2014…)
‘hans meuer’
(of the ‘university of mannheim’ (in ‘germany’))
