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.
