The 65th TOP500 list highlights the continued dominance of the El Capitan supercomputer at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory as the top system, with the US leading in Exascale systems alongside Frontier and Aurora. The list also features new advancements like the JUPITER Booster in Germany and updates on energy efficiency and benchmark performance, reflecting ongoing progress in high-performance computing.
AMD has surpassed Nvidia in the November Top500 supercomputer rankings, largely due to the new "El Capitan" system, which features AMD's hybrid CPU-GPU compute engines. El Capitan, built by Hewlett Packard Enterprise, has achieved a peak theoretical performance of 2,746.4 petaflops, making it the most powerful supercomputer on the list. AMD's GPUs now account for 72.1% of the new performance added to the rankings, marking a significant shift in the high-performance computing landscape.
Intel's Aurora supercomputer has made its debut on the TOP500 list, but only as a partial deployment and in the second spot. With a peak double-precision compute target of over two exaFLOPS, Aurora falls short at 585.34 petaFLOPS due to delays and incomplete scaling. The top spot is held by AMD-powered Frontier, while Intel celebrates powering 23 new systems on the TOP500 list. AMD, on the other hand, boasts powering 140 systems and highlights its dominance in efficiency rankings. Aurora is expected to be fully online in 2024, but AMD's El Capitan is already anticipated to surpass its performance.
