TOP500 Site Submission
The TOP500 project was started in 1993 to provide a reliable basis for tracking and detecting trends in high-performance computing. Twice a year, a list of the sites operating the 500 most powerful computer systems is assembled and released. The best performance on the Linpack benchmark is used as performance measure for ranking the computer systems. The list contains a variety of information including the system specifications and its major application areas.

If you have registered to submit systems for previous lists you will need to create a new account. This submission system is new and we decided to start from scratch to avoid migration of inactive and SPAM accounts.
Deadlines
The deadline for the submission of new sites for the November release of the TOP500 List is October 1st (23:59 PST). All system reported have to be installed by November 1st.
Submission deadline for the June release of the TOP500 List is April 15th (23:59 PST). All system reported have to be installed by May 15th.
Submission Process
To submit a new system to the next TOP500 list you will have to create an account and login into the submission system.
When you create a new account the login information is sent to the email address you have used during the registration process. If for some reason you do not receive an email (hours after registration), please contact us.
The submission process consists of 4-5 steps depending on the configuration of the system you are submitting:
- Site: General Site Information
- System Information: General information, Power Consumption, Memory, Footprint
- Components and Hardware data: If you are submitting a heterogeneous system, multiple components will need to be submitted
- Benchmark Results: Linpack data
Once all of the above have been entered successfully, you are asked to notify the authors of the TOP500 list about the completion of the submission process. This final step is very important and without it data entered will be considered as incomplete.
