AMD-powered Frontier supercomputer breaks the exascale barrier
What blows my mind is the newest NOAA super computer (that triples the speed of the last one) is a whopping 12 petaflops. It comes online this summer.<p>It kind of shows the difference in priority spending, when nuclear labs get >1000 petaflop super computers, and the weather service (that helps with disasters that affect many Americans each year) gets a new one that is 1.2% of the speed.<p><a href="https://www.noaa.gov/media-release/us-to-triple-operational-weather-and-climate-supercomputing-capacity#:~:text=The%20computers%20%E2%80%94%20each%20with%20a,Venus%22%20in%20Orlando%2C%20Florida" rel="nofollow">https://www.noaa.gov/media-release/us-to-triple-operational-...</a>.
