When Cray Computing announced it would build El Capitan, it anticipated a peak performance of 1.5 exaflops. Surprisingly, it surpassed expectations and reached 1.742 exaflops, securing its status as the most powerful supercomputer globally.
El Capitan is distinguished as only the third 'exascale' computer, capable of performing over a quintillion calculations per second, reinforcing its position at the apex of computational power alongside Frontier and Aurora.
In addition to being a powerhouse, El Capitan, with its 11 million combined CPU and GPU cores, demonstrates notable efficiency by achieving approximately 58.89 Gigaflops per watt.
While aimed at enhancing nuclear stockpile safety, El Capitan's capabilities extend to nuclear counterterrorism, ensuring its relevance in critical governmental operations for the foreseeable future.
