A Day with the World's Fastest Supercomputer

Frontier, the world’s fastest supercomputer, operates at peak efficiency with nearly 50,000 processors, consuming up to 27 megawatts of power. Located at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, it performs tasks from climate modeling to protein simulations, serving researchers globally. With its record-breaking exascale speed, Frontier processes data at unprecedented rates, but its future competition includes upcoming supercomputers like El Capitan and Jupiter. Energy efficiency remains a key challenge as computing power advances.
