The paperreveals some amazing results: the cluster is making so rapid a progress at anexponential speed, and the efficiency of clusters are settled so successfully tobe around 60%, despite most public speakers still speak of it in the 10-30%range. Moreover, the paper shows some important statistics data for clusters,along with the key features of current top clusters. These results come from anextensive analysis of the TOP500 and Clusters @ TOP500database.
