Green500 List
The Green500 list ranks computers from the TOP500 list of supercomputers in terms of energy efficiency. Typically measured as LINPACK FLOPS per watt.
As of November 2012, an Appro International, Inc. Xtreme-X supercomputer (Beacon) tops the current Green500 list with 2499 LINPACK MFLOPS/W. Beacon is deployed by NICS of the University of Tennessee and is a GreenBlade GB824M, Xeon E5-2670 based, eight cores (8C), 2.6 GHz, Infiniband FDR, Intel Xeon Phi 5110P computer.

Famous quotes containing the word list:
“We saw the machinery where murderers are now executed. Seven have been executed. The plan is better than the old one. It is quietly done. Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
