Windows in Decline

Linux has dominated the list so long, it's not even broken out in the statistics when TOP500 lists are announced. With the November 2011 list, Linux holds steady at 457 of the 500. That's right – 91.4% of the top 500 supercomputers in the world are Linux-based.

Unix has picked up a few systems, though. This time around 30 of the top 500 are UNIX-based, and 11 are of "mixed" operating systems. Windows, however, took a major hit. In June, Windows had a mere 4 systems on the list. This time around, Microsoft Windows is clinging to the TOP500 with one system.

Linux has come a long way in the last 10 years. If you look at the November 2001 list, Linux accounted for only 39 of the TOP500. Unix held 443, and Windows? Well, Microsoft had just one lonely system then too.
