Researchers used the Frontier supercomputer to create the largest universe simulation ever, incorporating both visible and dark matter. This exascale-class machine, capable of a quintillion calculations per second, allows for unprecedented astrophysical simulations, enhancing our understanding of the universe's evolution and composition. The simulation aligns with large telescope surveys and includes complex physics beyond gravity, such as star and galaxy formation. Although Frontier was recently surpassed by El Capitan as the fastest supercomputer, its contributions to cosmology remain significant.

The Frontier supercomputer, now the world's second fastest, has conducted the largest-ever simulation of the universe, focusing on cosmological hydrodynamics. This simulation, run by the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory, aims to model the universe's evolution, including dark matter and dark energy, using the Hardware/Hybrid Accelerated Cosmology Code (HACC). Frontier's capabilities allow for more detailed simulations than previous supercomputers, providing insights into the universe's structure and potentially challenging existing cosmological models.

The Frontier supercomputer, powered by AMD's EPYC CPUs and Instinct MI250X GPUs, has set a new industry benchmark by training a 1 trillion parameter language model, showcasing the potential of its 37,000 GPUs. This achievement, detailed in an Arxiv submission report, demonstrates Frontier's capabilities in large language model (LLM) training and its status as the world's leading and second most efficient supercomputer. With only 3,000 of its GPUs used for this task, the results hint at the immense potential for further scaling and advancements in AI and HPC performance.

JetBlue has agreed to divest all of Spirit's holdings at New York's LaGuardia Airport to Frontier as part of its proposal to acquire Spirit. The divestitures are part of JetBlue's upfront commitments included in the merger agreement and are contingent on the transaction being successfully completed, which JetBlue expects to happen in the first half of 2024. The Department of Justice has sued to block the merger, arguing that it would ultimately cause airfares to increase. If approved, the merger would create the fifth-largest airline in the U.S.

The Frontier system at Oak Ridge National Laboratory remains the only true exascale machine on the TOP500 list, with an HPL score of 1.194 Eflop/s and an energy efficiency rating of 52.59 Gflops/watt. Fugaku, LUMI, Leonardo, and Summit round out the top five. The Henri system at the Flatiron Institute in New York City earned the No. 1 spot on the GREEN500 list with an energy efficiency of 65.40 Gflops/Watt. The HPCG benchmark results show Fugaku, Frontier, and LUMI as the top three performers. The HPL-MxP benchmark highlights Frontier's mixed-precision computation capabilities.

Charm Industrial has secured a $53m contract with Frontier, a public benefit company owned by Stripe, to remove 112,000 tons of carbon dioxide between 2024 and 2030 on behalf of Frontier member companies. Charm will convert excess organic material, such as corn stover, into bio-oil and inject it into abandoned oil wells for permanent storage. The deal is the first of its kind for Frontier and is exponentially larger than previous agreements. Charm's ability to deliver results was the reason for its selection. The company's bio-oil sequestration method is expected to be one of the cheapest and most scalable ways of permanently removing carbon from the atmosphere.

JPMorgan, H&M, Autodesk, and Workday have committed $100 million to Frontier, a benefit company owned by Stripe, to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Frontier helps its member companies purchase CO2 removal via pre-purchase agreements or offtake agreements. The goal is to spur the development of a new industry by providing a novel source of funding that isn't based on debt or equity investments, but on actual product purchases before the technology is fully available at scale. The latest report published in March from the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change talks about the value that carbon dioxide removal has in responding to climate change.

Nissan is reportedly planning to discontinue its full-size truck, the Titan, by 2024 or 2025. While there are no current plans for another full-size truck, rumors suggest that Nissan may be developing an electric midsize pickup, potentially a version of the Frontier. The Surf-Out concept, a small truck aimed at active lifestyles, was showcased by Nissan last year. The Titan is the last full-size truck with a standard V8 engine, and its discontinuation will leave a gap in the market.
