The world's fastest supercomputer 'El Capitan' can reach a peak performance of 2.746 exaFLOPS, making it the planet's third ...

El Capitan represents an evolution over its predecessor, the Sierra supercomputer, which has been operational since 2018.

The machine, which was built as part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s CORAL-2 program, replaces the Sierra supercomputer, ...

Supercomputers play a vital role in scientific discoveries — from helping us forecast climate change to discovering new drugs. We've rounded up the top fastest on the planet right now.

Lawrence Livermore National Lab is also home to Sierra, another massive supercomputer that peaked as the world’s second-fastest in 2018. It, too, conducts classified nuclear weapons simulations.

El Capitan can reach a peak performance of 2.746 exaFLOPS, making it the National Nuclear Security Administration's first exascale supercomputer. It's the world's third exascale machine ...

“El Capitan” is the world’s fastest supercomputer and the third exascale computer on the planet. The world’s fastest ...

El Capitan is about 20 times faster than the lab's previous supercomputer Sierra dedicated in 2018. What took days or weeks on Sierra now can be done just hours on El Capitan. Lawrence Livermore ...

El Capitan aims to support these simulations. El Capitan represents an evolution over its predecessor, the Sierra supercomputer, which has been operational since 2018. The US Department of Energy ...

Instead, it relies on supercomputers to run sophisticated calculations that simulate nuclear detonations from today’s aging stockpile. Lawrence Livermore National Lab is also home to Sierra ...

“We live for days like today," Lisa Su, CEO of AMD, a major supplier to El Capitan, said at a Thursday inauguration event for the supercomputer. The building that houses El Capitan ...
