Unprecedented Speed and Capability

The supercomputer known as Frontier is currently the fastest in the world, capable of executing an exaflop, or 10 to the 18 floating-point operations per second. It runs on nearly 50,000 processors and is able to consume peak electricity rates that can power around 10,000 houses, emphasizing its massive scale of operation. Created to break through previous barriers in computing speed, Frontier allows researchers to perform simulations that encompass large-scale phenomena with minute details, significantly advancing scientific inquiry. This model is being utilized for crucial scientific projects, from climate modeling to drug development, demonstrating its versatility and relevance across various fields.
