Nov 18, 2024 · Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), in collaboration with the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and AMD, have officially unveiled El Capitan as the world's most powerful supercomputer and first exascale system dedicated to national security.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise El Capitan is an exascale supercomputer, hosted at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California, United States, that became operational in 2024. It is based on the Cray EX Shasta architecture.

Deployed in 2024, El Capitan is ranked as the world’s most powerful supercomputer, capable of performing more than 2.79 exaflops per second. Funded by NNSA’s ASC program, El Capitan was a collaboration among the three NNSA labs—Livermore, Los Alamos, and Sandia.

U.S. Department of Energy, HPE and AMD have partnered with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to develop El Capitan, the world fastest, verified supercomputer in the world. El Capitan achieves 1.742 exaflops, becoming the most powerful supercomputer in the world.

Jan 16, 2025 · The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) unveiled its $600 million supercomputer, "El Capitan," after about eight years of research and building.

May 13, 2024 · Three new systems currently or soon-to-be sited at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) on Monday debuted on the latest Top500 list of most powerful supercomputers in the world, including the first portion of the exascale machine El Capitan.

Nov 18, 2024 · Running at 1.742 exaflopsii and achieving 58.89 gigaflops performance per wattiii, the 100% fanless direct liquid-cooled El Capitan is also one of the top 20 most energy-efficient systems in the world.

The road to the NNSA’s first exascale-class supercomputer, El Capitan, began several years ago. This enormous undertaking of meticulous planning and strategic collaborations is already bearing fruit in a number of ways.
