The AMD-powered Frontier supercomputer at Oak Ridge Nationwide Laboratory has bagged the highest spot on the Top500 checklist of the world’s quickest supercomputers. The Top500 checklist additionally stated that the Frontier system is the primary true exascale machine with an HPL rating of 1.102 Exaflop/s. For 2 years, the highest spot was occupied by the Fugaku system on the RIKEN Middle for Computational Science (R-CCS) in Kobe, Japan.
Primarily based on the most recent HPE Cray EX235a structure and geared up with AMD EPYC 64C 2GHz processors, the system has 8,730,112 complete cores and an influence effectivity ranking of 52.23 gigaflops/watt. It depends on gigabit ethernet for information switch.

AMD added that Frontier‘s efficiency is greater than double the quantity two system and better than the sum of the following seven techniques on the most recent Top500 checklist. “The Frontier take a look at and growth system (TDS) secured the primary place within the Green500 checklist, delivering 62.68 gigaflops/watt power-efficiency from a single cupboard of optimised third Gen AMD EPYC processors and AMD Intuition MI250x accelerators,” added AMD.
USA and China dominate
Top500 additionally acknowledged that an commentary that has come out from the latest lists is that China and america are the 2 nations with essentially the most entries on the checklist. “Whereas China stagnated at 173 techniques, america dropped from 150 techniques to 126,” it added. The 2 nations make up for almost two-thirds of the supercomputers on the TOP500,” it added.
The third place within the checklist is taken up by the LUMI system at EUROHPC/CSC in Finland (the system has 1,110,144 cores and has an HPL benchmark of almost 152 PFlop/s). It’s the largest system in Europe. On the tenth place was the addition of the Adastra system at GENCI-CINES in France. It achieved an HPL benchmark rating of 46.1 Pflop/s and is the second strongest machine in Europe, after LUMI.
