The Best & Fastest Computers are Linux Computers
,----[ Quote ]
| In the latest Top 500 Supercomputer list list,
| which was released on June 20th, Linux accounts
| for 91.00 % of the top supercomputers. Linux is
| followed by Unix with 4.6%; and Windows with 1.2%.
| When it comes to super-fast computers like supercomputers
| or IBM Jeopardy winning Watson, Linux rules.
|
| Of the fastest of the fast, the top ten supercomputers
| all run Linux. The top ten, lead by the K Computer at the
| RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science (AICS)
| in Kobe Japan, are all capable of performing more than 8
| quadrillion calculations per second (petaflop/s) This
| ranking is determined by how fast the computers can run
| Linpack, âa benchmark application developed to solve a
| dense system of linear equations.â The highest ranking
| pure Windows supercomputer, the Magic Cube at Chinaâs
| Shanghai Supercomputer Center, comes in at 40th.

| Man, what a busy time lately!!... I have struggled big
| time to finish any of my ongoing articles, but fear not,
| this blog is very much alive and kicking. Stay tunned for
| upcoming articles, for there are some interesting things
| on the way, including reviews for Fedora 15, Fuduntu 14.10,
| Zorin 5 OS and (maybe) an article on why I decided not to
| review Ubuntu 11.04 and Unity.

GE Global Research Acquires a Cray [Linux] Supercomputer

It runs Linux. You thought it would run Windows, trolls? *LOL*
Linux does real work, as does GE, unlike Microsoft (which wield patents).

Microsoft loves competition.
