With the SuperComputing '16 event taking place in Salt Lake City, the latest TOP500 list of super-computers has been published.

China's Sunway TaihuLight remains on top with a maximum of 93 PFLOPS followed by Tianhe-2/Milkyway-2 at 33 PFLOPS followed then by Titan. As usual, almost all of these TOP500 systems are powered by Linux, to no surprise at all. The number one system boasts 10,649,600 cores.

Some facts about this latest TOP500 list for SC16 via today's announcement. The updated list can be found here.
