June 2, 2010 at 8:01 AMIs Weta responsible for NZ’s ranking?
Says a lot about Australia’s commitment to R&D that we don’t rate a mention.

New Zealand is a surprise. Good on them.

The NZ ranking is almost exclusively WETA (5 out of 6). NZ has 1 computer with 26.4 T FLOPS ranked 434, Australia has 1 with 49.59 T FLOPS ranked 113, so we still win… Kind of impressive for one company in NZ to hold 5 top 500 supercomputers and single handily drag NZ up there on the chart…
