The Green500 List - November 2007
The inaugural Green500 was announced on November 15, 2007 at SC|07. As a complement to the TOP500, the unveiling of the Green500 ushers in a new era where supercomputers can be compared by performance-per-watt.
For this inaugural list, performance is measured in floating point operations per seconds as reported by the TOP500 and power is measured in watts consumed during a Linpack run (if submitted) or peak power consumption of the supercomputer otherwise.
Listed below are the The Green500's Top 10 most energy-efficient supercomputers in the world as of November 2007.
