The IBM Roadrunner and Cray Jaguar top the list of 500 top supercomputers (1 and 2, respectively, according to ZDNET.  Now these are SUPERFAST computers, hitting Petaflops of speed (!!!).  What's interesting is that I've always associated "supercomputer" with "Cray," since at least the 1980s (when I was a kid).  I wonder where I first heard about it...

At any rate, these computers will be considered slow in a couple of years anyway...
