Blade Servers Make It to the Top HPC Sites

| Linux has ruled the Top 500 list for quite some time, and the advent of a
| Windows alternative from Microsoft has not, as yet, changed that. Linux is
| the sole operating system on 426 of the 500 machines in the November ranking,
| or 85.2 percent of the machines, and is also usually the other operating
| system in the 34 hybrid platforms that make up another 6.8 percent of
| machines on the list. Commercial Unixes, FreeBSD, and Mac OS together make up
| 6.8 percent of the list, and Unix is usually the other side of any hybrid
| machine on the list, so Unix can be said to have a 13.6 of the list--a huge
| fall from the early days of the Top 500 list when very few people had heard
| of Linux.

| Other operating systems, such as AIX (4.8%), Solaris (0.4%) and Mac OS X
| (0.4%) make the list, but Linux is alone at the top, where it is used in 459
| systems or 91.8% of the top supercomputer systems.
