I assume the
top500.org systems are for applications different from those
of io500. After all,
top500.org, in my opinion, are more related to
scientific computation, in which the scientific problems to solve is not
embarrassingly parallelizable. For io500, I'd expect more embarrassingly
parallelizable applications. In such cases, the storage size is more
important, and the write/read pattern should be more serial. This probably
explains the big difference between the two.
Maybe others can also share their opinions on the difference.

Thanks Patrick. Peng, here's something else from Cray showing
that Lustre
was the file system on 77% of the top 100 systems from the June 2018
top500.org list:

Which is not nearly the same ratio that we have seen thus far in IO500:

Which I just created using
https://www.vi4io.org/assets/io500/2019-06/data.csv ("The list shows the
best result for a given combination of system/institution/filesystem").
Note that I did combine a few to reduce the number of slices (e.g.
s/GPFS/Spectrum Scale/).
