The inaugural Green500 list was announced on November 15, 2007 at SC|07 with the most recent list announced on June 30, 2008. As a complement to the TOP500, the unveiling of the Green500 ushered in a new era where supercomputers can be compared by performance-per-watt.
While the selection of any power-performance metric will be controversial, we opt for "FLOPS-per-Watt" given that it has already become a widely used metric in the community and for reasons outlined in the following paper: Making a Case for a Green500 List, 2nd IEEE IPDPS Workshop on High-Performance, Power-Aware Computing, April 2006.
The most recent Green500 list was announced in June 2008.
The Green500 lists
- November 2008 (next)
- June 2008 (current)
- February 2008
- November 2007
The next list will be announced in November 2008 and will be open to all systems acheiving greater than 1TFlops on the Linpack benchmark.
