The triumph of Linux as a supercomputer OS (Royal Pingdom)

Royal Pingdom analyzes the results of a recent supercomputer survey. "Operating systems on supercomputers used to be custom-made affairs, but this has changed. These days, Linux has become a popular choice for supercomputers. But how popular? You may be surprised. Top500.org maintains a list of the fastest supercomputers in the world. A new list was published yesterday (it happens twice a year), so we took the opportunity to go through the list and find out what OS the top 20 supercomputers are using."
