Frontier, the second most fast supercomputer in the world, uses dark matter and motion of gas and plasma instead of gravity to set up ants.
The potential to expand human understanding of the universe soared after Frontier, supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (Ornl), creating a simulation of unprecedented universe, Live Science On February 13 reported. Frontier uses Hardware/Hybrid Accelerated Cosmology Code (HACC) This is the largest research initiative and developed software issued by DoE.
In the Exasky program, scientific applications are required to run 50 times faster than the previous standard, but Frontier and HACC are quickly far exceeding expectations, running nearly 300 times faster than similar simples about the Moon Titan of Saturn.
The team in Doe/HACC takes 7 years from the first simulation to enhance the capabilities of Exascale supercomputers like Frontier. This allows creating a simulation of a hydro -motivational universe, a specialized computer model to integrate the principles such as the expansion of the universe and the effects of dark matter. Previous models only integrate gravity measurement, gas or plasma. Simulation conducted in November 2024 using about 9,000 computer buttons of Frontier, all installed the AMD Instinct MI250X graphics card.
Frontier is the second most fast supercomputer in the world, which can reach 1.4 Exaflops. The performance of supercomputers is measured according to the dot mathematical operations per second (Flops), in which each dot operator is a calculation calculation. Exascale supercomputer is any machine with a capacity of over 999 Petaflops (0.9 Exaflops). The only stronger Machine of Frontier is El Capitan, reaching 1.7 Exaflops.
In addition to the universe simulation, Frontier is used in many other key studies. In April 2023, scientists built an E3SM atmospheric model of simple cloud resolution (Scream), a global atmosphere simulation program throughout the year with a resolution of over 3 km. As one of the most complex climate models ever created on computers, this is a milestone in complex interaction analysis between atmosphere, ocean and mainland, in order to improve weather prediction and collection. High reliability data on climate change.
In terms of materials, Frontier allows designers to create a foundation and shape for materials to help reinforce houses, making them durable, lighter and anti -erosion. Its Exascale calculation helps the researcher to set up a chemical interaction model at a molecular level to predict the behavior of the material. This supercomputer also plays a key role in finding new materials for energy, transportation, production and nuclear medicine.
However, scientists are still especially excited about how Exascale computer can enhance the development of artificial intelligence (AI). The speed of the machine allows programmers to improve algorithms and analyze large data sets quickly, especially in tasks such as faster language models or supercomputer applications for climate models and Predict climate change.
