MAPP
The MAPP incorporates multiple software packages into one integrated code so that multiphysics simulation codes can perform at scale on present and future supercomputers.
Ascending to Exascale
El Capitan will have a peak performance of more than 2 exaflops—roughly 16 times faster on average than the Sierra system—and is projected to be several times more energy efficient than Sierra.
RAJA Portability Suite
A Livermore-developed programming approach helps software to run on different platforms without major disruption to the source code.

“If applications don’t read and write files in an efficient manner,” system software developer Elsa Gonsiorowski warns, “entire systems can crash.”
Edgar Leon
Working on world-class supercomputers at a U.S. national laboratory was not what Edgar Leon, a native of Mexico, envisioned when he began preparing for university.
New commodity supercomputing clusters deployed at NNSA labs claim Top500 spots
The debut of the NNSA Commodity Technology Systems-2 computing clusters Dane and Bengal on the Top500 List of the world’s most powerful supercomputers brings the total of LLNL-sited systems on the list to 11, the most of any supercomputing center in the world.
SC23 event calendar
LLNL is participating in the 35th annual Supercomputing Conference (SC23), which will be held both virtually and in Denver on November 12–17, 2023.
Video: How LLNL’s exascale supercomputer came to be
Over several years, teams have prepared the infrastructure for El Capitan, designing and building the computing facility’s upgrades for power and cooling, installing storage and compute components and connecting everything together. Once all the pieces are in place, the life of El Cap as world-class supercomputer begins.
