A few days ago, “El Capitan”, the world’s fastest supercomputer, housed in a US government building in California, was inaugurated and is expected to protect the US nuclear arsenal. The website Interesting Engineering wrote that the supercomputer belongs to the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and its value is 600 million dollars. The grand opening took place on January 9, with “El Capitan” occupying a massive 6,000 square meters of space, with shelves full of advanced computing equipment. Its main focus is national security, including materials discovery, high energy density physics, nuclear data and weapons design. These tasks require massive computing power and ‘El Capitan’ is designed to provide this capability with ease. For example, when it reached full power, it scored an impressive 1,742 exaFLOPS on the High-Performance Linpack (HPL) benchmark, a global standard for supercomputer speed. This makes ‘El Capitan’ only the third computer in the world to achieve this […]
