Nothing new under the Sun, but the very interesting presentation makes it very cool to see. I just got to this article at BBC about the Top500 supercomputer list, where a very nice Treemap graph presents supercomputers according to their computational power. By selecting the Operating System, the dominance of Linux is staggering, confirming its status of de-facto standard for high-performance computing. Again, nothing new under the Sun, but it is interesting to see it in such strong visual representation.
