,----[ Quote ]
| The bi-annual Top500 list of the world's
| biggest and fastest supercomputers has just
| been released and shows that Linux-based
| systems now account for more than 90% of the
| Top500. Even more interesting is that IBM's
| Roadrunner supercomputer, which has dominated
| the top spot of late, has been dethroned, and
| substantially so by the Cray XT5 Jaguar.
