Virginia Tech Launches Green 500 List

With the release of the latest greatest top500.org list just around the corner I’d like to turn your attention to the Green500.org list.

Despite the importance of the TOP500 List, we argue that the list makes it much more difficult for the high-end computing community to focus on performance metrics other than speed. Therefore, to raise awareness to other performance metrics of interest, e.g., performance per watt and energy efficiency for improved reliability, we propose a complementary list to the TOP500 – the Green500 List.
