  TOP500 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The TOP500 project ranks and details the 500 most powerful publicly-known (that is, unclassified) computer systems in the world.
The TOP500 list is compiled by Hans Meuer of the University of Mannheim, Germany, Jack Dongarra of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Erich Strohmaier and Horst Simon of NERSC/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
TOP500 never was as accurate, up-to-date, unbiased or detailed as the "List", but due to significant corporate sponsorship became used in various marketing materials.

 High Performance Computing in Canada
RJT Commentary: The latest top500 shows Canada maintaining or perhaps slightly improving its position overall (at least there are now 5 academic machines on the list).
Clusters continue to increase their share of the top500, and now occupy 58.8% of the entries.
The second prepackaged system is SGI's Altix which comes in at 79, with a total of 18 systems in the top500 (note the NASA's Project Columbia is a cluster of 512 processor Altix machines, but does not have single system image).
