The Largest Computer in the World — Frontier

The largest computer in the world is Frontier, a supercomputer located at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in the United States.

• Performance: 1.102 exaflops (1.102 × 10¹⁸ floating-point operations per second) — this makes it the world’s first exaflop supercomputer.

• Architecture: Based on AMD EPYC processors and AMD Instinct MI250X accelerators.

• Power consumption: About 21 MW (megawatts).

• RAM: More than 9.2 PB (petabytes).

• Number of cores: 8,699,904.

Frontier is used for complex scientific computations, including:

• climate modeling,

• nuclear research,
