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.

I like the diversity. I have worked on Sparc, Power, MIPS, Alpha, Itanium and Cray machines (all having some form of Unix) and it was quite fun to have all the little and big differences, different development tools, design decisions etc. Now most systems are basic Linux, which makes things easier but also more boring. Back to diversity!
