HPE’s El Capitan Named World’s Fastest Supercomputer
El Capitan, built by HPE, tops the 2024 TOP500 list as the world’s fastest supercomputer, driving breakthroughs in AI, nuclear research, and energy.
AMD-powered El Capitan is now officially the world’s fastest supercomputer
El Capitan delivers an extraordinary sustained compute power of 1.7 exaflops and peaks at over 2.7 exaflops, dethroning the previous leader, Frontier by quite an impressive margin
US' El Capitan Is Now the World's Fastest Supercomputer
The supercomputer, housed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, achieves 1.742 exaFLOPs. China's machines could be even faster, but it's not sharing details publicly.
‘Ultra-powerful’ supercomputer El Capitan to serve national security purposes
El Capitan, an exascale (or “ultra-powerful”) supercomputer built by the Hewlett Packard Enterprise, was displayed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, or LLNL, and officially verified as th
El Capitan dethrones Frontier to become the world’s fastest supercomputer

Opinion
LLNL's El Capitan surpasses Frontier with 1.74 exaFLOPS performance
At 1.74 exaFLOPS of double precision performance as measured by the venerable Linpack (HPL) benchmark, the system, built by HPE Cray, boasts nearly 30 percent higher performance compared to the previous champion, which since its initial debut has climbed from 1.1 exaFLOPS to 1.35.
AMD-powered supercomputer El Capitan takes the global performance crown
AMD is once again dominating the Top500 list of the world's most powerful supercomputers with El Capitan, a newly introduced HPC system housed at Lawrence Livermore
All hail our new leader — AMD-powered El Capitan becomes officially the world’s fastest supercomputer
El Capitan was built by HPE for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) to simulate nuclear weapons tests. It is powered by AMD instinct MI300A APUs and is not only the fastest but also in the top 20 of the greenest computers too.
El Capitan ranked the most powerful supercomputer in the world
When Cray Computing, a supercomputer manufacturer acquired by HP in 2019, announced that it would build El Capitan it expected the computer to reach a peak performance of 1.5 exaflops. Today, the 64th edition of the TOP500 — a long-running ranking of the world's non-distributed supercomputers — was published,
El Capitan crowned most powerful supercomputer
When it comes to exaflops it is the floppiest El Capitan has been ranked as the most powerful supercomputer in the world. It boasts a benchmark performance of 1.742 exaflops, or 1.742 quintillion calculations per second,
Oak Ridge supercomputer Frontier no longer world's fastest. Meet the new kid: El Capitan
For the first time since it broke the exascale barrier by completing one quintillion calculations in a single second, Frontier was unseated on the list of the world's fastest supercomputers released every June and November by Top500.
