El Capitan marks another significant milestone in exascale supercomputing, bringing monumental performance, energy efficiency, and the capabilities to accelerate AI-driven scientific discovery and make incredible breakthroughs to strengthen national security and unlock new opportunities in renewable energy, said Trish Damkroger, senior vice president and general manager, HPC & AI Infrastructure Solutions.
The supercomputer uses AMD 4th-generation EPYC processors, the Cray Slingshot 11 network for data transfer, and a custom storage solution. The world's number one supercomputer has 11,039,616 combined CPU and GPU cores. It runs at 58.89 gigaflops performance per watt.
El Capitan's introduction continues the capability advancement needed to sustain our stockpile without returning to explosive nuclear testing, said Jill Hruby, Department of Energy undersecretary for nuclear security and NNSA administrator.
