Summit once stood as the most powerful supercomputer in the world, taking the top spot on the Top500 list during 2018 and 2019. It has 4,356 nodes, each one powered by two IBM Power9 22-core 3.07 ...

ORNL’s summit supercomputer, set to be decommissioned by the end of the year, added another chapter to its legacy in high-performance computing and scientific research. In a study published in ...

The Summit supercomputer has a peak performance of 200,000 trillion calculations per second — or 200 petaflops, making it eight times faster than the Titan Cray X supercomputer that came before it.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)’s Summit supercomputer is currently the fastest — and the smartest — in the world. Speed is fairly indisputable: Summit comes in at 200 petaFLOPS, while ...

Artificial intelligence—Summit’s biggest advantage over Titan— allows supercomputer users to build a model, and then tell the machine to look for patterns that might be like that model.

China's Sunway TaihuLight, the previous holder of the title of the world's fastest supercomputer until Summit came along, clocked in at 125 petaFLOPS, which is five times faster than the next ...

Big iron aficionados packed the room when ORNL’s Jack Wells gave the latest update on the upcoming 207 petaflops Summit supercomputer at the GPU Technology Conference (GTC18) this week. In just eight ...

Summit supercomputer is big. Summit divides work among 4,608 interconnected computer nodes housed in refrigerator-sized cabinets and liquid-cooled by pumping 4,000 gallons of water per minute ...

The IBM Power System AC922 Summit supercomputer at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility was scheduled to be retired in 2023, but program managers had other ideas.

The Summit supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF) has had its life extended for an additional year. Originally scheduled for shutdown at the start ...

Using the now-decommissioned Summit supercomputer, researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory ran the largest and most accurate molecular dynamics simulations yet of ...

The Summit supercomputer revealed how damaged strands of DNA are surgically repaired by a molecular pathway called nucleotide excision repair, or NER. NER’s protein components can change shape ...
