All hail our new leader — AMD-powered El Capitan becomes officially the world’s fastest supercomputer
With a sustained compute power of 1.7 exaflops and a peak of over 2.7 exaflops, El Capitan knocks previous leader Frontier to second on the list of the most powerful supercomputers in the world. El Capitan was built by HPE for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) to simulate nuclear weapons tests.
US' El Capitan Is Now the World's Fastest Supercomputer
Following years of development, the US' El Capitan supercomputer now ranks as the world's fastest, dethroning the previous champion, Frontier, another US exascale computer. In a recent verified test, El Capitan achieved 1.742 exaFLOPs of performance or 1.742 quintillion calculations per second, according to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, where the supercomputer is based.
