As of November 2024, the United States' El Capitan is the most powerful supercomputer on TOP500, reaching 1742 petaFlops (1.742 exaFlops) on the LINPACK benchmarks. [2] As of 2018, the United States has by far the highest share of total computing power on the list (nearly 50%). [3]

Hewlett Packard Enterprise El Capitan, is an exascale supercomputer, hosted at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, United States and becoming operational in 2024. It is based on the Cray EX Shasta architecture. El Capitan displaced Frontier as the world's fastest supercomputer in the 64th edition of the Top500 (Nov 2024).
The supercomputer formerly known as Jaguar recently got an upgrade that was significant enough to earn it a new moniker, and it turns out that was also enough for it to claim the top spot on the ...
The latest version of these benchmarks is used to build the TOP500 list, ranking the world's most powerful supercomputers. [1] The aim is to approximate how fast a computer will perform when solving real problems. It is a simplification, since no single computational task can reflect the overall performance of a computer system.
The first Atlas was officially commissioned on 7 December 1962 — nearly three years before the Cray CDC 6600 supercomputer was introduced — as one of the world's first supercomputers. It was considered at the time of its commissioning to be the most powerful computer in the world, equivalent to four IBM 7094s.
The supercomputer is part of an initiative by the Flemish government to provide the researchers in Flanders with a very powerful computing infrastructure. The new cluster was ranked 163rd in the worldwide Top500 list of supercomputers in November 2012. [27] [28] In 2014, a supercomputer started operating at Cenaero in Gosselies.
The relentless rise of the chip over the past seven decades has grown economies, transformed lives, and helped cement the U.S., where most chips get their start, as the globe’s postwar hegemon ...
