Abstract:

In this short note the TOP25 supercomputer sites worldwide are introduced. This list of the TOP25 sites has been compiled based on the information given in the TOP500 report. First we briefly explain how this list was established and comment on recent changes. For most of the top twentyfive supercomputer centers we provide a short description of facilities, equipment, and mission.
