On 30 May, the new TOP500 list of the fastest supercomputers worldwide (see also www.top500.org) was announced at the congress ISC HPC. Our new HPC cluster HSUper has entered the TOP500 list, ranked 339. In terms of German HPC systems, we are ranked 28. In terms of German sites (i.e., hosting institutions) with HPC, we are ranked 17. This is a very good result, since German sites that are ranked higher are mostly the “usual suspects”, that is the sites of the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing and few centers of the newly established national high performance computing initiative (NHR).
There are two more lists that have been announced: the Green500, which measures the energy consumption, and the HPCG list which provides a measure for rather classical applications, such as sparse matrix-vector operations that are at the core of many numerical simulations. On HPCG, we are ranked 98 (rank no 13 in Germany), on Green500, we are ranked 71 (ranked 10 in Germany).
