TOP 500 fastest Supercomputer in the world - Small Info

Supercomputer - The High Performance Computing

         Think HPC(High performance computing) and the first thought that comes to mind is that of towers of computers sitting in a data-center running for 24x7. Known for processing millions of computer instructions in a second, these systems are  favorite among weather departments, physics and biological research laboratories, space research centers.

       How this supercomputers are categorized as top 500 fastest supercomputers in the world. The complete listing is organized under the head of International Supercomputing Conference and released every 6months. All the supercomputers are benchmark against a algorithm called linkpack performance.
