In the Green500 the systems of the TOP500 are ranked by how much computational performance they deliver on the HPL benchmark per Watt of electrical power consumed. This electrical power efficiency is measured in Gigaflops/Watt. This ranking is not driven by the size of a system but by its technology and the ranking order looks therefor very different from the TOP500. The computational efficiency of a system tends to slightly decrease with system size, which among technologically identical system gives smaller system the advantage. Here are the top 10 of the Green500 ranking:

  • The system to claim the No. 1 spot for the GREEN500 is for a second time the JEDI - JUPITER Exascale Development Instrument at EuroHPC/FZJ in Germany. The system has 19,584 total cores, an HPL benchmark of 4.5 PFlop/s, and achieved an efficiency of 72.7 GFlops/Watt. JEDI is a BullSequana XH3000 system with Grace Hopper Superchip 72C 3GHz, NVIDIA GH200 Superchip, and Quad-Rail NVIDIA InfiniBand NDR200.

  • In the second place is the ROMEO-2025 system at the ROMEO HPC Center - Champagne- Ardenne in France. With 47,328 total cores and an HPL benchmark of 9.863 PFlop/s, and achieved an efficiency of 70.9 GFlops/Watt. The architecture of this system is identical to the No. 1 system JEDI, but as it is more than twice as large its energy efficiency is slightly lower.

  • The No. 3 spot was taken by the new Adastra 2 system at the Grand Equipement National de Calcul Intensif - Centre Informatique National de l'Enseignement Superieur (GENCI-CINES) in France. This is a HPE Cray EX255a system with AMD 4th Gen EPYC 24 core 1.8GHz processors, AMD Instinct MI300A accelerator, and Slingshot-11, running RHEL. With 16,128 cores total it achieved 2.529 PFlop/s HPL performance and an efficiency of 69.1 GFlops/Watt.

The data collection and curation of the Green500 project has been integrated with the TOP500 project. This allows submissions of all data through a single webpage at http://top500.org/submit.
