Located at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California The Captain The supercomputer named officially world’s fastest supercomputer happened. AMD supported El Capitan, 1,742 exaflops It has a power of 1.3 exaflops. FrontierIt topped the list, leaving behind .

What are the features of the El Capitan supercomputer?

The Captain, 44,544 AMD MI300A It has 11,136 nodes equipped with its APU and 5.4 petabytes of main memory owner. It is stated that the supercomputer reached a performance of 1,742 quintillion operations per second (exaflops) in comparative tests.

El Capitan features 44,544 AMD MI300A processors It contains 11,039,616 processing cores (CPU+GPU). These APUs combine both CPU and GPU cores in the same physical package. Each MI300A chip contains 13 chiplets, most of which are 3D stacked, combined with the CDNA 3 graphics engine and 8 HBM3 memory stacks for a total of 128 GB 24 Zen 4 CPU cores It forms a single chip package.

National Nuclear Security Administration system without the need for underground explosions modernizing the US nuclear arsenal by simulating explosions, will use it to simulate the aging effects, safety and reliability of the nuclear stockpile. The system also includes two new It will be used in the development of intercontinental ballistic missile design. El Capitan will be available for high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence workloads.

El Capitan, in theory 2,746 exaflops can reach peak performance level. However, this number is calculated from the full performance of the system components running at the highest speeds with perfect linear performance scaling, which is not applicable in the real world. In the High Performance Linpack (HPL) benchmark, which is considered the benchmark for supercomputers, it reaches 1,742 exaflops. It is stated that this value may increase with further fine-tuning in the future.

El Capitan at full capacity 35 MW consumes power and 58,89 Gigaflop/watt Green500’s value It ranks 18th in the list of the most efficient supercomputers.
