Argonne’s Aurora Supercomputer Shatters Exascale Barrier, Revolutionising AI and Scientific Research

The Aurora supercomputer at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory has surpassed the exascale threshold, achieving over a quintillion calculations per second. This makes it one of the world's fastest supercomputers, second only to the Frontier at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Built by Intel and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Aurora's capabilities will transform scientific research, enabling breakthroughs in areas such as climate science, energy storage, and fusion energy. The system's advanced capabilities for simulations, AI, and data analysis will also spur advances in technology and bolster the nation’s innovation infrastructure.
