Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) continues its industry leadership building the fastest and most energy-efficient supercomputing systems in the world, enabling research institutions and large enterprise companies to handle larger workloads, accelerating discovery and innovation giving HPE the distinction of building the only three exascale systems in the world.
El Capitan, built for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in conjunction with AMD, has reached 1.742 exaflops, making it the world’s most powerful supercomputer and one of the top 20 most energy-efficient systems.
El Capitan joins the ranks of the world’s three verified exascale systems along with two other HPE-built supercomputers, Frontier at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) ranking No. 2 and Aurora at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) ranking No.3.
Monumental performance
“We are proud to have delivered the top three Supercomputers in the world. El Capitan showcases how monumental performance capabilities can accelerate AI-driven scientific discovery and make incredible breakthroughs,” stated Mohammad Alrehaili, Middle East Managing Director, HPE.
HPE’s supercomputing leadership also extends into Europe with HPE Cray Supercomputing EX powering the region’s three most powerful AI-enabled systems.
HPE continues to forge ahead, leading the next wave of breakthroughs in supercomputers through its many partnerships in the public and private sectors. These collaborations help HPE customers reach new to new heights that will enable researchers to push their simulations to resolutions and scales never before possible, a press statement concluded.
