Frontier retains top spot among world’s fastest supercomputers


For the fifth consecutive time, Frontier tops the list of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, but it's no longer the only exascale machine on the TOP500 list.

The system relies on Cray’s Slingshot 11 network for data transfer, and the machine has a power efficiency rating of 52.93 GFlops/Watt –which also puts Frontier at the No. One newcomer to the list, the Alps machine from the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) in Switzerland, achieved an HPL score of 270 PFlop/s, landing at No. The Aurora system is installed at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility, Illinois, USA, where it is also operated for the DOE and holds a preliminary HPL score of 1.012 Exaflop/s.
