OS market share in Top 500 supercomputers

"Is your UNIX Linux compatible?"

I saw the thumbnail and thought this was a map of The Netherlands

Surprised to learn that there were windows based Supercomputers.

Ah hahahaha!!!!

Windows! Some dumbass put Windows on a supercomputer!

So basically, everybody switched from expensive UNIX™ to cheap "unix"-in-all-but-trademark-certification once it became feasible, and otherwise nothing has changed in 30 years.

So you're telling me that there was a Mac super computer in '05?

Now the real question is what package manager are they using? apt or yum? Lol

Wait what Mac?

Maybe windows is not used in supercomputers often because unix and linux is more flexiable for the cpus they use(Power9,Sparc,etc)

As someone who worked on designing racks in the super computer space about 10 q5vyrs ago I had no clue windows and mac even tried to entered the space

Wow, that's kind of a lot more Linux than I was expecting, but it also makes sense. Pretty cool tbh.

Can we get a source for this image?

I’m confused on why they separate BSD from Unix. BSD is a Unix variant.

Would the one made out of playstations be in this statistic?

Just need to do a dnf update on them all...

This looks impressive for Linux, and I’m glad FLOSS has such an impact! However, I wonder if the numbers are still this good if you consider more supercomputers. Maybe not. Or maybe yes! We’d have to see the evidence.

We're gonna take the test, and we're gonna keep taking it until we get one hundred percent in the bitch!

What would the other be

Any idea how it'd look if broken down into distros? I'm assuming enterprise support would be favoured so Red Hat or Ubuntu would dominate?
