The Trend Indicated on Top500
 62 SYSTEMS ON THE TOP500 LIST ARE ACCELERATED IN THIS WAY, INCLUDING CHINA’S TIANHE-1A, WHICH SAT
ATOP THE LIST BACK IN 2010 BUT NOW RANKS NUMBER EIGHT.
 THAT’S UP FROM 58 SYSTEMS SIX MONTHS AGO, AND THE NUMBER IS LIKELY TO CONTINUE GROWING.
 THE TIME MAY SOON BE UPON US WHEN IT’S SIMPLY UNFEASIBLE TO COMPETE FOR THE TOP 10 OR EVEN THE
TOP 25 SYSTEMS IN THE WORLD WITHOUT LEVERAGING SOME KIND OF ACCELERATION TECHNOLOGY.
 MORE EFFICIENT METHODS OF CRUNCHING MORE DATA ARE WHAT WILL LEAD US TO THE EXASCALE AGE
