It's that time of the year again: the Top 500 list of supercomputers has been published, as they do every six months. Just for fun, I decided to compare the list released this month to then-current list when OSNews launched; we started in August 1997, so let's compare the list of today to the one from June 1997.

Comments: Why didn't you just steal the charts ?
And I still hate the EM64T name. The thing should be called AMD64, because AMD made it.

Well, because they don't have any data labels. I don't like pie charts without data labels. On top of that, making charts and tables is fun.

I mean that .

In that case I'd appreciate it if the labels could be made correctly (x86_64 != x68_64).

I'm on 64-bit Red Hat 4; I can't easily install flash, which those charts use. I'm glad he didn't steal them.

AMD64 (or x86-64) and EM64T are not the same thing.

those are differences in implementation, not design. Intel was forced to base EM64T off AMD64 due to pressure from MS.

Actually, the chart *does* call it AMD64 - at least, when talking about AMD. The EM64T label is only used for Intel hardware...
