It is powered by AMD instinct MI300A APUs and is not only the fastest but also in the top 20 of the greenest computers too. Computations reduced from months to weeks For perspective, El Capitan can achieve a task in less than one second that requires one human to do one calculation every second since the earth formed and then again for nine more earths.

AMD is once again dominating the Top500 list of the world's most powerful supercomputers with El Capitan, a newly introduced HPC system housed at Lawrence Livermore

According to the T0P500 list, the El Capitan, running AMD Epyc CPUs and Instinct accelerators, took the top spot in its supercomputer rankings. It shouldered Frontier, which also uses AMD Epyc CPUs, to second place.

AMD powers the El Capitan supercomputer at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) with Instinct MI300A APUs, the faster supercomputer in the world.

El Capitan was built by HPE and features over 11M cores by way of AMD's EPYC processors a MI300A AI accelerators.

AMD has maintained its leadership in high-performance computing by powering El Capitan, the fastest supercomputer globally, for the sixth year in a row on the Top 500 list.

When it comes to exaflops it is the floppiest El Capitan has been ranked as the most powerful supercomputer in the world. It boasts a benchmark performance of 1.742 exaflops, or 1.742 quintillion calculations per second,

The supercomputer, housed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, achieves 1.742 exaFLOPs. China's machines could be even faster, but it's not sharing details publicly.
