Exascale: Frontier Simulations Could Lead to a ‘Superdiamond’
The world’s fastest supercomputer helped researchers simulate synthesizing a material harder and tougher than a diamond — or any other substance on Earth. The study used Frontier, the HPE Cray EX supercomputing system at the Department of Energy’s Oak ….
ExaWind: Wind Turbine CFD Simulation on Frontier Exascale
The Exascale Comuting Project’s ExaWind suite of computational fluid dynamics codes are designed to develop predictive simulations of wind farms that contain dozens of megawatt-class turbines spread across 30 square miles. Using the Frontier exascale supercomputer at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility, the ExaWind team performed some of the highest fidelity wind energy simulations […]

The Department of Energy has released a request for proposals inviting vendors to submit plans for a successor to Oak Ridge National Lab’s exascale supercomputer, Frontier. Vendors have until Aug. 30, 2024 ….
Exascale: Frontier Supercomputer Used in Molecular Dynamics Simulation of 2M Electrons
The exascale- class Frontier supercomputer set a new standard for calculating the number of atoms in a molecular dynamics simulation 1,000 times greater in size and speed than previous simulations of its kind, according to Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where the HPC system is housed. The simulation ….
Argonne Lab Unveils Upgraded Advanced Photon Source
The Advanced Photon Source (APS) Argonne National Laboratory has emerged from a year-long shutdown ready for its second act. “Together with Argonne’s new exascale supercomputer, Aurora, the (APS) will empower scientists to make discoveries ….
Exascale: SUPERLU/STRUMPACK Solvers Get Frontier Upgrade
“Before (the Exascale Computing Project), both packages had very little support for GPUs. We could get some benefit from running on a single GPU, but without updating the code, even 10 GPUs wouldn’t make it run much faster. We had to redesign a lot of algorithms ….”
MSBAI Secures DOE ASCR Frontier Aurora HPC Allocation
LOS ANGELES, July 1, 2024 — AI company MSBAI has been awarded an allocation on the Department of Energy’s leadership-class supercomputers through the ASCR Leadership Computing Challenge (ALCC) program. This grant will accelerate the development of GURU, MSBAI’s autonomous system that designed to reduce modeling and simulation setup time from hours to minutes. The project, titled “Autonomy […]
