2024: Increase system performance to more than 1 exafload
In mid-May 2024, it became known about the appearance of the second exaflops supercomputer in the world. This performance barrier was overcome by the Aurora system at the Argonne National Laboratory in the United States.
According to the press service of the laboratory, by mid-May 2024, the capacity of Aurora was 1.012 exaflops. This data processing speed was achieved using 87% of the 10,624 system nodes. It is also claimed that this supercomputer ranked first in the world in terms of artificial intelligence (AI) performance, reaching 10.6 exaflops in the HPL-MxP test.
By mid-May 2024, AMD Frontier is the most powerful supercomputer in the world - it crossed the exaflops milestone first. Now its Frontier production in the Linpack test is about 1.2 exaflops.
Aurora is also underperforming in energy efficiency, consuming 38.6 MW to reach exaflop, while Frontier costs 22.7 MW for 1.2 exaflops.
Aurora has the most modern Intel processors and graphics cards by May 2024: 21,248 Sapphire Rapids Xeon processors and 63,744 Ponte Vecchio GPUs. Once all equipment is completed later in 2024, Intel believes the system will eventually be able to break the 2 exaflops barrier.
However, competing projects are also developing, so Aurora will not be easy to get to become the fastest supercomputer. The El Capitan suupercomputer from Livermore National Laboratory, set to make its ranking debut in the fall of 2024, could be the new leader with a peak output of 2.3 exaflops, ahead of Aurora by 400 petaflops.
Exaflops calculations allow you to quickly solve complex problems in a wide variety of scientific fields, modeling complex systems - from climate to the movement of atoms, chemical compounds and processes in the universe.[1]
2018
Supercomputer Aurora, created for the Ministry's Argonne National Laboratory, power engineering specialists USA will have a capacity of 1.2 exabytes. Its launch is scheduled for 2022.
