El Capitan Retains Lead on TOP500 Supercomputer List

By

Exascale systems now occupy the top three spots.

The El Capitan exascale system still holds its first-place position on the latest TOP500 List.

El Capitan, which is installed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, measured 1.742 EFlop/s on the HPL benchmark to retain the top spot.

Three exascale systems now lead the TOP500, all of which are installed at Department of Energy (DOE) laboratories in the United States. Here are the top five systems on the list.

  1. El Capitan – This HPE Cray EX255a system has 11,039,616 cores and is based on AMD 4th generation EPYC processors with 24 cores at 1.8 GHz and AMD Instinct MI300A accelerators. The system also achieved 17.41 Petaflop/s on the HPCG benchmark, making it the leader in this ranking as well.
  2. Frontier – This HPE Cray EX system, installed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee, achieved 1.353 EFlop/s using 8,699,904 cores.
  3. Aurora – This system, installed at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility in Illinois, is based on HPE Cray EX - Intel Exascale Compute Blades. It achieved an HPL score of 1.012 EFlop/s.
  4. JUPITER Booster – This system is currently being commissioned at EuroPHC/FZJ in Jülich, Germany. It is based on Eviden’s BullSequana XH3000 direct liquid-cooled architecture, using Grace Hopper Superchips. It achieved a preliminary HPL value of 793.4 Petaflop/s on a partial system.
  5. Eagle – This Microsoft NDv5 system, installed in the company’s Azure cloud, achieved an HPL score of 561 Petaflop/s. The system is based on Xeon Platinum 8480C processors and NVIDIA H100 accelerators.
