AMD-powered El Capitan has taken the top spot on the semi-annual Top500 list as the fastest-known supercomputer on the planet with 1.742 exaflops of performance.

The system has 11,136 nodes packed with 44,544 of AMD 's MI300A APUs, 5.4 petabytes of main memory, and an exceptionally performant 'Rabbit' storage subsystem.

The National Nuclear Security Administration will use the system to modernize the US nuclear arsenal by simulating explosions.

HPE builds El Capitan system with its Shasta architecture, which consists of high-density liquid-cooled EX4000 cabinets and accelerator blades tied together with the Slingshot-11 networking interconnect.

This platform powers the DOE 's other two exascale supercomputers: Frontier , the previous fastest supercomputer in the world, and the oft-delayed Aurora , which is powered by Intel silicon.
