the Top500 statistics include Historical charts. You can see how recently the last 2 AIX

Thanks for the pointer to those charts. 100% Linux was apparently
reached in last November's list so that is a very recent thing.
The dominance of Linux goes back well over a decade with which I was aware.
Most of the computational power is coming from the GPU units.
You can probably use almost any OS and still come on top on those
benchmarks as long as you have sufficient number of GPU units.
I don't think the top500 as relevant as before, it is more like a pissing
match between USA and China these days.
