Summary
| Description |
English: Geometric growth of supercomputers performance, based on data from top500.org site. Y Axis shows performance in GFLOPS. Red line denotes fastest supercomputer in the world at the time. Orange line denotes supercomputer no. 500 on TOP500 list. Dark blue line denotes total combined performance of supercomputers on TOP500 list.
Deutsch: Exponentielles Wachstum der Supercomputerleistung, basierend auf den Daten der top500.org-Site. Die y-Achse zeigt die Leistung in GFLOPS. Die rote Linie stellt den schnellsten Supercomputer der Welt zum jeweiligen Zeitpunkt dar. Die Linie in orange stellt den Supercomputer auf Platz 500 der TOP500-Liste dar. Die dunkelblaue Linie stellt die kombinierte Gesamtleistung aller Supercomputer der TOP500-Liste dar. |
