The top500.org site is very interesting.  They keep old statistics on hand
so I went looking.  In 2000, IBM made 215 or 43% of the 500 supercomputers,
followed by Sun at 92 (18.4%), SGI (67 (13.4%) and Cray 47 (9.4%).  HP made
only 5 (1%), the fastest one being a V2600 HyperPlex @ 196Gflops.  A year
later, the world had changed:  IBM made 160 (32%), HP made 153 (30.6%), SGI
made 40 (8%), Cray made 39 (7.8%) and Sun made 30 (6%).  The fastest HP is a
Superdome HyperPlex @ 196.7 Gflops, just slightly faster than the V2600.
Most of the entries for HP are SuperDomes.  It seems the Superdome is very
much a success and they seem to have sold a lot of them.
