Oak Ridge Natio\u00adnal Laboratory\u2019s (ORNL<\/span>) Fron\u00adtier sys\u00adtem sub\u00admit\u00adted its very first score to the Top500 list of 1.1 exa\u00adflops, making it the world\u2019s fas\u00adtest super\u00adcom\u00adpu\u00adter and the first to break the exas\u00adca\u00adle bar\u00adri\u00ader. Frontier\u2019s per\u00adfor\u00admance is more than dou\u00adble the num\u00adber two sys\u00adtem and grea\u00adter than the sum of the next seven sys\u00adtems on the latest Top500 list.<\/p>\n
