Re: [wlug] New World’s Fastest: 10-Million Core Supercomputer

According to the Ars article, the previous supercomputer king of the hill, “Tianhe-2 had been the world's fastest in six consecutive rankings, which are released twice a year”. So I think the record for staying the longest at the top still remains with the old NEC Earth Simulator, which was number one for maybe two years.

Whoops, Tianhe-2 definitely holds the record, at three years.
