Almost all the world's fastest supercomputers run Linux | ZDNet

Almost all the world's fastest supercomputers run Linux The TOP500 List shows 498 out of 500 of the speediest computers on the planet are running Linux. Linux has long-dominated the supercomputer ratings, but now it's getting close to knocking out all its competition. Other than systems running Linux, there are two Chinese supercomputers running IBM AIX, a Unix variant. This pair, tied at 386 and 387, may not be long for the list. That's because supercomputers are growing ever faster. See http://ift.tt/2fQ7sLG
