TOP500

The TOP500 is a list that ranks the world's most powerful supercomputers based on their performance in processing complex calculations. It helps scientists, researchers, and organizations identify the leading-edge computing systems used for advanced research, simulations, and data analysis. The list is updated twice a year and uses a standard benchmark test called LINPACK to measure each supercomputer’s speed. By showcasing the fastest supercomputers, TOP500 highlights technological progress and allows for comparing computing capabilities across different systems globally.
