Top 500 supercomputer rankings show IBM surge

Eric Auchard writes for Reuters:

IBM increased its dominance in the market for supercomputers used to solve the toughest research problems, claiming half of the world's Top 500 supercomputers, while the share of Hewlett-Packard Co. fell sharply, according to a survey published on Wednesday.

HP fell to 26 percent, or 131 of the most powerful supercomputers ranked in the semi-annual Top 500 List. That's down from 170, or 34 percent, just six months ago.

IBM scored broad gains, with 259 machines or 51.8 percent of the Top 500, up from 43 percent of the world's most powerful supercomputers last November.
