Frontier Exascale System Leads TOP500 List

The Frontier exascale system at Oak Ridge National Labs leads the list of global high-performance computing systems with an HPL score of 1.194 EFlop/s, according to the latest TOP500 list released at SC23. 

However, the new Aurora system at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility has entered the list at the No. 2 spot, with an HPL score of 585.34 PFlop/s, based on half of the planned final system. Aurora, which is built by Intel, is still being commissioned but “will reportedly exceed Frontier with a peak performance of 2 EFlop/s when finished,” the announcement states.

The following systems round out the top five:

  • Eagle, which is installed in the Microsoft Azure Cloud in the United States, is at No. 3 with an HPL score of 561.2 PFlop/s.
  • Fugaku, based in Kobe, Japan, scored 442.01 PFlop/s to come in at No. 4.
  • LUMI, which is based in Kajaani, Finland, is the largest system in Europe and scored 379.70 PFlop/s for the No. 5 spot.
