Argonne National Laboratory

U.S. Department of Energy, Intel and HPE to provide Argonne National Laboratory with Aurora.

Aurora supercomputer.

Aurora supercomputer achieves exascale

Aurora is an HPE Cray supercomputer with additional compute and accelerator infrastructure provided by Intel, and the latest verified exascale-class supercomputer. But what it will do extends far beyond what it is and its speed. The most advanced supercomputer ever for Argonne National Laboratory, Aurora will power scientific and engineering advancements in every field of inquiry beyond anything so far imaginable.

“It's a single machine that's bigger than anything we can do in the cloud, focused on a single problem at a time. Exascale computers are simply the biggest, baddest machines we can build out of conventional technology.”
