AMD, in collaboration with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, officially unveiled the El Capitan supercomputer, making it the most powerful supercomputer in the world. The performance reached 1,742 exaflops, which is 35% greater than that of previous leader Frontier.
El Capitan is based on AMD MI300A hybrid processors, combining CPU and GPU on one platform. The system includes 44,544 processors, 11,136 compute nodes and supports the Shasta architecture using liquid cooling. The supercomputer features 5.4 petabytes of advanced HBM3 memory and consumes up to 35 MW of power at full load.
According to AMD, the supercomputer has the potential to increase its performance to 2,055 exaflops after a planned refinement in the near future. However, in real conditions, these indicators may differ from the theoretical indicators.
El Capitan’s primary mission is to assist the U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration in modeling nuclear processes and developing new technologies for intercontinental ballistic missiles. The system will also be used in artificial intelligence research, especially in tasks of high complexity.
AMD continues to develop collaborations with major partners, including IBM and HPE, and is also introducing its technologies in new projects such as the HPC 6 system in Italy and the Sigma2 supercomputer in Norway.
