Argonne Installs Final Components Of Aurora Supercomputer Argonne The installation of aurora’s 10,624 th and final “ blade” marked a major milestone for the highly anticipated exascale supercomputer at the u.s. department of energy’s (doe) argonne national laboratory. after years of diligent work and planning, the system now contains all the hardware that will make it one of the most powerful. Aurora is one of the world’s first exascale supercomputers, able to perform over a quintillion calculations per second. housed at the argonne leadership computing facility (alcf), a department of energy office of science user facility, its high computing speed and artificial intelligence (ai) capabilities enable science that is impossible today.
Argonne Installs Final Components Of Aurora Supercomputer Argonne On june 22, 2023, argonne national laboratory, intel and hpe announced that the installation progress of the aurora supercomputer is complete. in this photo, members of the installation team walk through the many racks at argonne national laboratory.

The argonne leadership computing facility enables breakthroughs in science and engineering by providing supercomputing resources and expertise to the research community. support center current. Occupying the space of two professional basketball courts and weighing 600 tons, the massive aurora exascale supercomputer is taking shape at the u.s. department of energy’s (doe) argonne national laboratory. long rows of 8 foot tall black cabinets loom large inside a new wing of the white walled data center that houses argonne’s other. A behemoth of a supercomputer, it will not only interpret the details of all of those images and return them to researchers with great efficiency, but also help steer experiments at argonne. one of the first exascale computers in the world, aurora will be capable of performing two billion billion calculations per second, making it nearly 50 times faster than alcf ’s current supercomputer.
