The world's fastest supercomputer 'El Capitan' can reach a peak performance of 2.746 exaFLOPS, making it the planet's third ...

The $600 million machine is already online and operational at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California.

Supercomputers play a vital role in scientific discoveries — from helping us forecast climate change to discovering new drugs. We've rounded up the top fastest on the planet right now.

The safety of the US nuclear stockpile and several key secrets will now be guarded by a supercomputer. El Capitan, the ...

The fastest supercomputer in the world has been officially launched at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in ...

When running at peak performance for single or further reduced precision math, Fugaku can perform more than 1,000 petaflops, or 1 exaflop — the milestone three U.S. supercomputers in development ...

With its Aurora exascale supercomputer, Argonne National Laboratory is providing researchers with a powerful tool to ...

A technical paper titled “5 ExaFlop/s HPL-MxP Benchmark with Linear Scalability on the 40-Million-Core Sunway Supercomputer” was published by researchers at the National Research Center of Parallel ...

Because of the high degree of parallelism in applications that can take advantage of Intel MIC, Intel expects supercomputers based on the architecture to break the ExaFLOP/second barrier by 2020.

The list is topped by Frontier, the first exaflop supercomputer, which is capable of processing one quintillion operations per second and is based at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the USA.

An exaFLOP is 1 quintillion (10^18) FLOPS. The next fastest supercomputer in the world is currently the Frontier supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Illinois. That supercomputer has ...
