Exascale Day 2024: How Supercomputing at a Billion Billion Calculations Per Second Is Changing the World

The Exascale Era began in spring 2022 when the Top500 list certified that the HPE-AMD Frontier supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory had broken through the exascale computing barrier. And with the Intel-HPE Aurora system at Argonne National Laboratory confirmed by Top500 last spring, the U.S. now has two exascale-class systems – with a third, the HPE-AMD El Capitan system at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, on the way.

Aurora Supercomputer Ranks Fastest for AI

At ISC High Performance 2024, Intel announced in collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) that the Aurora supercomputer has broken the exascale barrier at 1.012 exaflops and is the fastest AI system in the world dedicated to AI for open science, achieving 10.6 AI exaflops. Intel will also detail the crucial role of open ecosystems in driving AI-accelerated high performance computing (HPC).

Examining Architectures for the Post-Exascale Era

On Wednesday, November 11th, at 9am PST, a group of researchers and industry players on the leading edge of a new approach to HPC architecture join to explore the topic in a webinar titled, “Disaggregated System Architectures for Next Generation HPC and AI Workloads.”
