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 ...

One thing is certain: The explosion of data creation in our society will continue as far as pundits and anyone else can forecast. In response, there is an insatiable demand for more advanced high ...

When originally conceived, Japan’s Post-K supercomputer was supposed to be the country’s first exascale system. Developed by Fujitsu and the RIKEN Center for Computational Science, the system, now ...
