Abstract: Ethernet in the World’s Top500 Supercomputers

The world’s most powerful supercomputers continue to get faster. According to top500.org, which maintains the list of the 500 supercomputers with the highest Linpack performance, the aggregate performance of the listed computers has grown 21% in the last seven months and 65% in the last year. This growth rate is slower than for other recent lists, but continues to compare favorably with the rate of improvement predicted by Moore’s Law (2x every 18 months).
