This study will review the future of computing beyond exascale to meet national security needs at the National Nuclear Security Administration. (Exascale refers to a computer that performs 10^18 ...

National Exascale Day will be on October 18, or “10 to the power of 18” calculations per second, which is what an exascale computer can do. The day is meant to recognize scientists who make ...

At Oak Ridge National Laboratory, a supercomputer named Frontier has broken the exascale computing barrier, meaning it can calculate more than a million trillion floating-point operations per second.

It’s hard to imagine how a billion billion (i.e. a quintillion) calculations per second and beyond will affect the way we live and work, but such performance will bring new capabilities for a new set ...

A view looking at one corner of a the Frontier supercomputer. The machine's black cabinets receed into the background in a bright, white room. The back of these cabinets have been removed to show red ...
