AMD-Powered Frontier Supercomputer Breaks the Exascale Barrier, Now Fastest in the World
The AMD-powered Frontier supercomputer is now the first officially recognized exascale supercomputer in the world, topping 1.102 ExaFlop/s during a sustained Linpack run. That ranks first on the newly-released Top500 list of the world's fastest supercomputers as the number of AMD-powered systems on the list has expanded significantly this year.

One of the World's Most Powerful Supercomputers Uses Light Instead of Electric Current
France's Jean Zay supercomputer, one of the most powerful computers in the world and part of the Top500, is now the first HPC to have a photonic coprocessor meaning it transmits and processes information using light. The development represents a first for the industry.

New Fastest Supercomputer Will Simulate Nuke Testing
In July 1945, The Manhattan Project culminated in a successful nuclear weapons test near Los Alamos, New Mexico. But the United States committed to stop nuclear weapons testing in a 1965 treaty. The Manhattan Project’s progeny, the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), is constrained to testing its nukes in simulation only. So instead of projecting U.S. strength through a massive explosion, yesterday the NNSA did so by unveiling the world’s most massive supercomputer.
