IBM dominates Green500 supercomputer list
By: Stephen Withers
IBM has smashed its competitors in the latest Green500 list of the most energy-efficient supercomputers, which shows that performance and running costs need not be diametrically opposed. The latest list shows that other supercomputer vendors are struggling to compete with IBM in the bang per Watt stakes.

Microsoft scrapes into top 500 supercomputer list, but IBM rules supreme
By: Stephen Withers
IBM has obliterated the competition in the supercomputing stakes with the top 10 of the top 500 supercomputers in the world, but Microsoft has surprisingly scraped in at number 23 with its Windows HPC Server system. While Microsoft is an unlucky 13 numbers away from the top 10, does the wow start now?

IBM's Roadrunner sets new supercomputer record
By: Stephen Withers
A hybrid supercomputer built by IBM for the US Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration more than doubles the speed of Blue Gene, previously the world's fastest. And it does so with the aid of the processor used in the Sony PlayStation 3.

IBM opto-electronic breakthrough may shrink supercomputers
By: Stephen Withers
The idea of replacing some of the pathways within computers and other digital devices has been around for some time. Such an arrangement could reduce energy consumption (and therefore waste heat) while dramatically increasing the available bandwidth. A new development by IBM researchers may have brought such products closer.

Hey, hand me a supercomputer
By: William Atkins
Scottish, German, and Italian engineers and scientists are studying how nano-sized wires could one day bring the size of a supercomputer so it could be held in one’s hand. The key to reducing the size of computers is learning how wires within microchips behave at tiny diameters.
