We don’t even need a moment to gather which operating system is the most used one. As of September 2020, Statista reports that around 30,40,000 apps are available on Google Playstore. Unlike iOS development, Android development requires proper standards and varying benchmarks for performance and optimization.

It ranks the world’s 500 most powerful supercomputers based on their performance as measured by the Linpack benchmark. A supercomputer that is capable of 1 exaFLOPS or higher would be called an exascale supercomputer, and, when they become available, they are expected to contribute significantly to the advancement of science and technology.

This metric is interesting because we don’t always have the luxury of parallelizing every application we run, and our operating systems almost always process each call (e.g., Multicore processors have huge amounts of available DRAM bandwidth – maybe it does not even make sense for a single core to try to use that much?
