Ridiculed Top500 supercomputer rankings

Last Sunday, Top500.org announced the latest supercomputer ranking. with the help of GPU acceleration, Tianhe-1A in China made itself far ahead in the Linpack test, turning the United States into the world's No. 1 super computer.

However, the use of only one method to test the performance of a supercomputer is under much question. At the SC2010 meeting in New Orleans this week, executives of the supercomputer supplier joked that linking 100,000 Android smart phones would create the highest Linpack number. they thought the Linpack test was of little value. At the same time, the Sandia National Laboratory is working with Intel, IBM, AMD, NVIDIA, and Oracle to define a new benchmark ranking for Graph 500, it uses graph theory to analyze the super computer's ranking in throughput when simulating biology, security, society, and similar complex problems, rather than comparing traditional numerical computing capabilities like Linpack. At present, it has only published the top 10, the first is the IBM Blue Gene "Intrepid" of the argon National Laboratory, the top 10 computers in China.
