Doesn't this flip flop every few years anyway? This is the 4th time China has had the fastest according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_supercomputing

I think the top500 is harmful to the hpc community because it encourages people to build huge, mostly homogenous hpc facilities instead of a network of smaller, heterogenous hpc facilities
