The Top500 ranking of the world’s most powerful supercomputers was managed by the American Frontier system developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This is the first rig to hit a peak of 1.1 exaflops in the Linmark test.
The system is powered by 2GHz AMD EPYC 64C processors optimized for AI and HPC. The supercomputer is equipped with AMD Instinct MI250X accelerators and has 8.7 million cores.
Frontier is still in the integration and testing process. Its creation cost 600 million dollars.
In the future, the supercomputer will be operated by the US Air Force and the US Department of Energy.
Previously, the Japanese Fugaku installation ranked first in the Top500 rankings. Its performance is 442 petaflops.
Recall that in January Meta announced that it had created the world’s largest supercomputer with artificial intelligence.
In May 2021, American scientists unveiled an AI supercomputer to study dark energy, which will help create the largest ever 3D map of the visible universe.
