IBM dominates Green500 supercomputer list E-mail

"Energy efficiency has become just as important as simple raw performance for the modern supercomputer. As applications for supercomputers increase, so does the attention on this aspect of their use," said Dave Turek, IBM's vice president for deep computing.

IBM takes an impressive 45 of the top 50 spots on the Green500 list. The only other vendor to get a look in is SGI, with its Altix ICE systems.

SGI's highest entry is at number 17 with the system installed at Total Exploration Production. This Altix ICE 8200EX supercomputer is ranked tenth on the TOP500.

The moral of the story seems to be that you can have the fastest computer on earth without it costing the earth to run.
