Topic: Emerging Architectures

Increased resource utilization is one goal of new architectures. At Livermore Computing, these include AI accelerators such as Samba Nova and Cerebras systems and El Capitan's Rabbits.

The latest issue of LLNL's magazine explains how the world’s most powerful supercomputer helps scientists safeguard the U.S. nuclear stockpile.

When quantum mechanical particles scatter, it shifts the position of their wave. The new algorithm accurately measures these shifts, opening the way to quantum simulations of scattering processes.

Among the honorees was the Exascale Computing Project leadership team, which successfully delivered the 7-year, $1.8 billion collaboration among six DOE national laboratories.

Hundreds of current and former LLNL employees, government officials, and industry leaders gathered on January 9 to mark a monumental achievement: the dedication of El Capitan, the world’s fastest supercomputer.

The event marked a monumental achievement with the acceptance and deployment of the first exascale computing system built for the NNSA, a historic milestone in national security and scientific computing recognizing the collaborative efforts of government, industry and scientific leaders.

SC24, held recently in Atlanta, was a landmark event, setting new records and demonstrating LLNL's unparalleled contributions to HPC innovation and impact.

Two teams led by LLNL computer scientists won Editor’s Awards from HPCwire, a leading high performance computing industry publication, at the 2024 Supercomputing Conference in Atlanta.

On the newest episode of the Big Ideas Lab podcast, listeners will go behind the scenes of LLNL's latest groundbreaking achievement: El Capitan, the world’s most powerful supercomputer.

Verified at 1.742 exaflops (1.742 quintillion calculations per second) on the High Performance Linpack—the standard benchmark used by the Top500 organization to evaluate supercomputing performance—El Capitan is the fastest computing system ever benchmarked.
