TOP500

The TOP500 project, initiated in 1993, ranks the 500 most powerful non-distributed computer systems globally. It publishes updated lists bi-annually, coinciding with the International Supercomputing Conference in June and the ACM/IEEE Supercomputing Conference in November. The project monitors trends in high-performance computing using the HPL benchmark, a Fortran-based implementation of the LINPACK benchmark for distributed-memory computers, as the basis for its rankings. It serves as a reliable resource for tracking the evolution of supercomputing capabilities.
