Abstract
The Green500 list, published biannually alongside the Top500 list, ranks the energy efficiency of the top 500 or so supercomputers (whose data is made public) by FLOPS per Watt.
I continue to analyse Green500 data to forecast likely trajectories towards Exascale (~10^18 FLOPS) Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) computing.
