Woopee!!
Africa still has one in the Top 500, and it sits in South Africa
Continents Count Share % Rmax Sum (GF) Rpeak Sum (GF) Processor Sum Africa 1 0.20 % 23415 27850 8192
Here are it's vital statistics.
Rank System Procs Memory(GB) Rmax (GFlops) Rpeak (GFlops) Vendor 128 Blue Gene/P Solution 8192 N/A 23415 27850 IBM
Dunno where the history came from - UCT-CERN group? The R_peak and R_max are also quite close, which is impressive.
Site Centre for High Performance Computing System Family IBM BlueGene System Model BlueGene/P Computer Blue Gene/P Solution Vendor IBM Application area Not Specified Installation Year 2008 Operating System CNK/SLES 9 Interconnect Proprietary Processor PowerPC 450 850 MHz (3.4 GFlops)
Interestingly, we were told it was a 14TFlop machine. I assume that it is the same having 1024 dual cpu dual cores.
