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 ….
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 ….”
