Over at InsideHPC, John West has taken the data from the most recent Top500 list and pushed it through IBM’s ManyEyes and create a collection of visualizations that show how the US has an overwhelming majority in the Supercomputing industry.
The data were gathered as follows: the Top500 website itself provides a list of Rpeak and system count by country. I used the data from the June 2009 list. For the chart that shows distance from the equator, I used the latitude value from the Google Maps centered view that results when you search on a country name.
Check it out, and see if you can come up with any visualizations of your own.
