AMD's 'Frontier' maintains its lead in the supercomputer TOP500, Intel's 'Aurora' ranks second, and Japan's 'Fugaku' ranks fourth.
In the 62nd `` TOP500 ,'' a supercomputer ranking announced every June and November, it has been announced that ``Frontier'' located at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the United States has ranked first for the second time in the ranking. Ta. AMD is involved in Frontier, and ``Aurora'', which was expected to be taken over by Intel, came in second place.
Frontier remains No. 1 in the TOP500 but Aurora with Intel's Sapphire Rapids chips enters with a half-scale system at No. 2 | TOP500

``TOP500'' is a ranking of the world's supercomputers in terms of calculation speed, and it is known that Japan's ``Fugaku'' ranked first for four consecutive terms from the 55th to the 58th, which was announced in June 2020.

In the 59th TOP500 in June 2022, 'Frontier' from Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the United States took the top spot from 'Fugaku', with a calculation speed of 1.102 EFlops (exaflops) per second. Frontier continued to improve its performance, and this time, in the 62nd race, it recorded 1.194 EFlops per second, taking the top spot for the fourth consecutive period.
A new addition to the 62nd ranking is the supercomputer ``Aurora'' equipped with Intel's Sapphire Rapids chip installed at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) of the US Department of Energy. Aurora came in second place with 585.34 PFlops per second, surpassing Fugaku's 441.01 PFlops per second. Fugaku came in 4th place, making it the number 1 supercomputer installed outside the United States.
Aurora is still operating at half the scale, and it is expected that it will be able to perform at around 2 Elops per second when the next ranking is compiled. On the other hand, AMD has already started developing a new supercomputer named 'El Capitan', and the computing power is expected to be over 2EFlops, so it is unlikely that Intel will take over the top supercomputer position from AMD. It looks like it won't be easy.
By the way, in terms of energy efficiency, Frontier ranks 8th in the ranking of 'efficient supercomputers,' but Aurora is less efficient and consumes more electricity than Frontier, which is running at full capacity. doing.
