OS market share in Top 500 supercomputers

Ah hahahaha!!!!

Windows! Some dumbass put Windows on a supercomputer!

So basically, everybody switched from expensive UNIX™ to cheap "unix"-in-all-but-trademark-certification once it became feasible, and otherwise nothing has changed in 30 years.

Wait what Mac?

So you're telling me that there was a Mac super computer in '05?

Surprised to learn that there were windows based Supercomputers.

As someone who worked on designing racks in the super computer space about 10 q5vyrs ago I had no clue windows and mac even tried to entered the space

Wow, that's kind of a lot more Linux than I was expecting, but it also makes sense. Pretty cool tbh.

Now the real question is what package manager are they using? apt or yum? Lol

I saw the thumbnail and thought this was a map of The Netherlands

Would the one made out of playstations be in this statistic?

What would the other be

Maybe windows is not used in supercomputers often because unix and linux is more flexiable for the cpus they use(Power9,Sparc,etc)

"Is your UNIX Linux compatible?"

Can we get a source for this image?

We're gonna take the test, and we're gonna keep taking it until we get one hundred percent in the bitch!

I’m confused on why they separate BSD from Unix. BSD is a Unix variant.

This looks impressive for Linux, and I’m glad FLOSS has such an impact! However, I wonder if the numbers are still this good if you consider more supercomputers. Maybe not. Or maybe yes! We’d have to see the evidence.

Just need to do a dnf update on them all...

Any idea how it'd look if broken down into distros? I'm assuming enterprise support would be favoured so Red Hat or Ubuntu would dominate?

I shouldn't doxx myself but I did do research and run code on a TOP500. It was alright.

Interesting how the tiny BSD fraction had a lead over Linux in 1995
