The 2-exaflop system, powered by HPE Cray hardware and the latest generation AMD processors, could become world's fastest supercomputer when it goes live in 2024.
The Department of Energy's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory began receiving and installing components for its El Capitan supercomputer last week, marking a major milestone in its quest to build what could become the world's fastest supercomputer next year.
The supercomputer, which will surpass speeds of more than 2 exaflops per second, will become the nation's third exascale supercomputer when it debuts in 2024. LLNL, in Livermore, Calif., posted four pictures on social media last Wednesday, showing the first components being delivered and installed.
