Earlier I mentioned the list of supercomputer installations that Gunter
Ahrendt maintains and I included a few (dated) excerpts. Well, tonight I
found a new version posted.
I'm only including the top handful of sites.
Not reported are installations in non-U.S. intelligence agencies, such as
Chobetsu, SDECE, Mossad, BND, etc. They probably don't have Crays,
Connection Machines, or Paragons.
I'll also edit the intro material a bit. The sites are ranked in order of
what I'd call "Cray equivalents," where the Cray Y-MP/1 is rated at 1. For
example, the top-ranked site has the estimated equivalent of 380 Cray
Y-MP/1s.

03-JUL-1994 List of the world's most powerful computing sites
=============================================================
(available by fingering me, joining my mailing list or in comp.sys.super)
....
Ratings are ratios to a Cray Y-MP/1 based on NASA NPB BT Size A
benchmark reports. Figures prefixed '~' denote approximations usually
based on comparable programs, figures suffixed '?' denote relative guesses
based on Intel iPSC/860 peak Gflops ratios.
The current minimum performance for inclusion is a benchmarked rating
of 4 BT, or 10.56 Gflops peak for unbenchmarked systems.
