This is great but I absolutely love that poster of el capitan on the supercomputer racks ! Also TIL there is a list of top500 at https://www.top500.org/lists/top500/2024/11/

I've always loved these charts. The Numerical Wind Tunnel, #1 in 1993, achieved 124.2 gigaflops on the Linpack benchmark.

In comparison, the iPhone 15 Pro Max cellphone, released in 2023, delivers approximately 2150 gigaflops.

I once drew the chart backwards. I think my PC in 2013 would have been the fastest on Earth in 1990. And faster than every computer combined in about 1982.[0]

2Tflops was #500 in 2006. Still a supercomputer. Crazy.
