900014 Floating-Point Operations per Second (GFLOPS) gigaFLOPS The number of floating-point operations carried out per second by the fastest supercomputer in any given year. This is expressed in gigaFLOPS, equivalent to 10⁹ floating-point operations per second. 2024-04-22 15:55:32 2024-07-08 16:39:17     1993-2023 6480

In 1993 the collection was started and has been updated every 6 months since then. The report lists the sites that have the 500 most powerful computer systems installed. The best Linpack benchmark performance achieved is used as a performance measure in ranking the computers. The TOP500 list has been updated twice a year since June 1993. The Linpack Benchmark is a measure of a computer’s floating-point rate of execution. It is determined by running a computer program that solves a dense system of linear equations. The paper “The LINPACK Benchmark: Past, Present, and Future” by Jack Dongarra, Piotr Luszczek, and Antoine Petitet provides a look at the details of the benchmark and provides performance data in graphics form for a number of machines on basic operations.
