No big changes in ranking of Spain's TOP500 sites

Barcelona, 02 December 98 The June and November 1998 editions of the TOP500 list are very alike for Spain: the last one contains the same five centres that were also present six months ago. The Spanish centres in the list are, in order of appearance: CEPBA, CIEMAT, INEM, the University of Valencia and CESCA. CEPBA is on the top of the Spanish centres (275) with a SGI Origin 2000 with 64 processors and 26.24 Glop/s Rmax.

Next, in position 306, is CIEMAT, with SGI T3E900 with 38 processors and 24.73 Gflop/s Rmax. In third position (number 351) we find the Sun HPC10000 of INEM, with 52 processors and 21.68 Gflop/s Rmax. The SGI Origin2000, with 64 processors and 20.75 Gflop/s Rmax, of the University of Valencia (402) is next. In this edition, CESCA is the last of the list of the Spanish centres (439): its IBM SP2 has 44 processors and 19.46 Gflop/s Rmax.
