World’s First Exascale Supercomputer Powered by AMD EPYC™ Processors and AMD Instinct™ Accelerators

— Fron­tier super­com­pu­ter, powered by AMD EPYC CPUs and AMD Instinct Acce­le­ra­tors, achie­ves num­ber one spots on Top500, Green500 and HPL-AI per­for­mance lists, an indus­try first —

AMD powers five of the top ten most powerful and eight of the top ten most effi­ci­ent super­com­pu­ters in the world —

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 30, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) show­ca­sed its con­tin­ued lea­der­ship in high per­for­mance com­pu­ting (HPC) by powe­ring the fas­test and the most ener­gy effi­ci­ent super­com­pu­ters in the world, accor­ding to the latest Top500 and Green500 lists.

Oak Ridge Natio­nal Laboratory’s (ORNL) Fron­tier sys­tem sub­mit­ted its very first score to the Top500 list of 1.1 exa­flops, making it the world’s fas­test super­com­pu­ter and the first to break the exas­ca­le bar­ri­er. Frontier’s per­for­mance is more than dou­ble the num­ber two sys­tem and grea­ter than the sum of the next seven sys­tems on the latest Top500 list.

In addi­ti­on, the Fron­tier test and deve­lo­p­ment sys­tem (TDS) secu­red the top spot on the Green500 list, deli­ve­ring 62.68 gigaflops/watt power-effi­ci­en­cy from a sin­gle cabi­net of opti­mi­zed 3rd Gen AMD EPYC™ pro­ces­sors and AMD Instinct™ MI250x acce­le­ra­tors. Final­ly, Frontier’s mixed-pre­cis­i­on com­pu­ting per­for­mance clo­cked in at 6.86 exa­flops, as mea­su­red by the High-Per­for­mance Lin­pack-Acce­le­ra­tor Intro­s­pec­tion, or HPL-AI, test. Next steps for Fron­tier include con­tin­ued test­ing and vali­da­ti­on of the sys­tem, which remains on track for final accep­tance and ear­ly sci­ence access later in 2022, and open for full sci­ence at the begin­ning of 2023.
