A view looking at one corner of a the Frontier supercomputer. The machine's black cabinets receed into the background in a bright, white room. The back of these cabinets have been removed to show red ...

It’s hard to imagine how a billion billion (i.e. a quintillion) calculations per second and beyond will affect the way we live and work, but such performance will bring new capabilities for a new set ...

At Oak Ridge National Laboratory, a supercomputer named Frontier has broken the exascale computing barrier, meaning it can calculate more than a million trillion floating-point operations per second.

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are private, nonprofit institutions that provide expert advice on some of the most pressing challenges facing the nation and world. Our ...

The first exascale computer has officially arrived. The world’s fastest supercomputer performed more than a quintillion calculations per second, entering the realm of exascale computing. That’s ...

The Department of Energy's Exascale Computing Project (ECP) today announced that it has selected four co-design centers as part of a 4 year, $48 million funding award. The first year is funded at $12 ...

Researchers working on the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) project have developed an entirely new global atmosphere model. The model has a resolution 30 times finer than global climate ...

Exascale computers are soon expected to debut, including Frontier at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF) and Aurora at the Argonne Leadership Computing ...

National Exascale Day will be on October 18, or “10 to the power of 18” calculations per second, which is what an exascale computer can do. The day is meant to recognize scientists who make ...

This study will review the future of computing beyond exascale to meet national security needs at the National Nuclear Security Administration. (Exascale refers to a computer that performs 10^18 ...
