The dominance of non US countries (especially China) in the Top500 rankings is as much a driver here. 1. http://www.theplatform.net/2015/07/13/top-500-supercomputer-list-reflects-shifting-state-of-global-hpc-trends/ http://www.theplatform.net/2015/07/13/top-500-supercomputer-...

The dominance of China is achieved through the use of Xeon Phi accelerators, which may be great for Linpack, but have not made much of a splash for applications yet. GPUs are solidly beating Intel's accelerator offering both on adaptation and performance.
