Supercomputers.

Top500 is a relative well known list of supercomputers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top500

It was started in 1993 by Jack Dongarra of BLAS and
various *PACK fame.

The first few top lists (they are publicised every
6 months) may even have had VMS system on them.

They have some systems listed as "Ultrix or VMS". Which
must have been VAX'es. And there is a fair chance that
high end VAX'es (9000's with vector I assume) would
run VMS and not Ultrix.
