    It is a pity this article does not list South Africa's CHPC (Centre for High Performance Computing), as it has made the list of the top 500 at place number 329. See below:

    http://www.top500.org/list/2011/11/400

    To get a place in the top 500 is an achievement in itself, never mind being number 1! To be at the top you need to do really ridiculously expensive things!
