As someone with a limited knowledge of kernel stuff, does this mean Linux is likely to significantly outperform other comparable kernels like FreeBSD and OpenSolaris? Or are those other kernels keeping pace?
- marcodiego 5y agoConsidering the absolute dominance on HPC for a few years now, I don't think there is competition against Linux at the moment in terms of performance. Last time a non Linux system appeared in the top500 list was in June 2017.

- hawk_ 5y agoI suspect that's more due to "popularity" or richness of the ecosystem than performance necessarily.
