For the first time since November 2009, a United States supercomputer sits atop the TOP500 list of the world's top supercomputers. Named Sequoia, the IBM BlueGene/Q system installed at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory achieved an impressive 16.32 petaflop/s on the Linpack benchmark using 1,572,864 cores.
I would like to order one of these babies but I a little short on funds. Seriously, Linux is the highest ranked OS in the super computer space. 419 super computers run Linux as the OS out of the top 500 list with a system share of 83.8%.It's that time of the year again when the Top 500 super computer results are out for 2012.

Sequoia is also one of the most energy efficient systems on the list, which will be released Monday, June 18, at the 2012 International Supercomputing Conference in Hamburg, Germany. This will mark the 39th edition of the list, which is compiled twice each year.
