  AMD-Powered Frontier Supercomputer Tops Top500 At 1.1 Exaflops, Tops Green500 Too

• @sasamarinkovic Sasa Marinkovic on x

  It's official: @AMD powers the #1 supercomputer in the world! From breaking 1 GHz barrier in back in 2000, to being first to break the EXASCALE Barrier TODAY, AMD is all about pushing the limits of innovation! @AMDServer @AMDInstinct @HPE https://www.tomshardware.com/ ...

  Exascale: It wasn't easy and happened just in time - the run that put #Frontier over the one exaflops line was completed on Friday morning @ORNL At 1.102 EF, Frontier is faster than the next 7 systems on the #Top500 combined https://www.hpcwire.com/... #HPC #ISC22 via @HPCwire ht…

  @ORNL @HPCwire Further optimization/tuning is expected to boost #Frontier's *peak* performance from the current 1.69 EF The project target was 2.0 EF *peak* Also #Linpack efficiency has room for improvement - currently only 65.4% https://www.hpcwire.com/... #HPC #ISC22 #Top500 vi…

  I think most people, myself included, can't even imagine the complexity of such a project. From a single chip (CPU/GPU), to a node (1 CPU + 4 GPUs (which are two chips already), to a cabinet, to 74 cabinets - all working together. https://twitter.com/...

  A massive machine in Tennessee has been deemed the world's speediest supercomputer. But the crown comes with a caveat: Some experts think the machine has already been beaten. “There are rumors China has something,” one computer science professor said. https://www.nytimes.com/...

  The first officially benchmarked Exascale supercomputer (1EF at FP64) is now in the system! https://twitter.com/...

  Supercomputers have long been a flash point in international competition. The machines were first built for cracking codes and designing weapons, but now also play major roles in developing vaccines, testing car designs and modeling climate change. https://www.nytimes.com/...

  Frontier is ushering in a new era of #exascale computing to solve the world's biggest scientific challenges. This milestone offers just a preview of Frontier's unmatched capability as a tool for scientific discovery. https://www.nytimes.com/...

  The United States has regained a coveted speed crown in computing with a powerful new supercomputer in Tennessee, a milestone for the technology that plays a major role in science, medicine and other fields. https://www.nytimes.com/...

  ‘Some experts believe that Frontier has been beaten in the exascale race by two systems in China. Operators of those systems have not submitted test results for evaluation by scientists who oversee the so-called Top500 ranking.’ https://www.nytimes.com/...
