El Capitan: New supercomputer is the fastest

> El Capitan, housed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, Calif., can perform over 2700 quadrillion operations per second at its peak. The previous record holder, Frontier, could do just over 2000 quadrillion peak operations per second.

> El Capitan uses AMD’s MI300a chip, dubbed an accelerated processing unit, which combines a CPU and GPU in one package. In total, the system boasts 44,544 MI300As, connected together by HPE’s Slingshot interconnects.

Seems like a nice win for AMD.

Yep! They've been part of the Exascale project for a long time, and it's good to see their commitment on HPC actually succeeded unlike Intel's during the same time period.
