Opinion
LLNL's El Capitan surpasses Frontier with 1.74 exaFLOPS performance
At 1.74 exaFLOPS of double precision performance as measured by the venerable Linpack (HPL) benchmark, the system, built by HPE Cray, boasts nearly 30 percent higher performance compared to the previous champion, which since its initial debut has climbed from 1.1 exaFLOPS to 1.35.
El Capitan with AMD Instinct MI300A APU Becomes Second AMD Supercomputer to Surpass Exascale Barrier, Placing #1 on Top500 list
Today, AMD showcased its ongoing high performance computing (HPC) leadership at Supercomputing 2024 by powering the world’s fastest supercomputer for the sixth straight Top500 list.
El Capitan crowned most powerful supercomputer
When it comes to exaflops it is the floppiest El Capitan has been ranked as the most powerful supercomputer in the world. It boasts a benchmark performance of 1.742 exaflops, or 1.742 quintillion calculations per second,
El Capitan ranked the most powerful supercomputer in the world
El Capitan has more than 11 million combined CPU and GPU cores based on AMD 4th-gen EPYC processors. These 24-core processors are rated at 1.8GHz each and have AMD Instinct M1300A APUs. It's also relatively efficient, as such systems go, squeezing out an estimated 58.89 Gigaflops per watt.
US' El Capitan Is Now the World's Fastest Supercomputer
The supercomputer, housed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, achieves 1.742 exaFLOPs. China's machines could be even faster, but it's not sharing details publicly.
