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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Researchers enlist Summit supercomputer to combat coronavirus. It’s important to note that the results from Summit’s efforts do not mean that a cure or treatment for COVID-19 has been achieved.

Supercomputers like Summit and Frontier can be measured in performance. Often, they’re measured in exaflops, defined as their ability to calculate a billion a billion — no, this isn’t a typo — ...

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 ...
