Oak Ridge National Laboratories' Frontier ita ce kwamfuta mafi sauri a duniya
Kwanaki kadan da suka gabata, abokin aikina Darkcrizt tkuma ƙidaya a cikin jerin kwamfutoci mafi sauri a duniya. A cikin wannan labarin, zan ba ku bayani game da halayen kwamfuta ta farko a cikin jerin, wanda Amurka ta sake samun jagoranci a masana'antar kwamfuta.
Ina nufin Frontier, wanda Oak Ridge Laboratories National Laboratories suka gina bisa hukuma don Ma'aikatar Makamashi ta Amurka. Na ce a hukumance kawai saboda zai zama da wuya su ɓata damar wannan kayan aikin don amfanin soja, amma kar ku saurare ni. A yau na sa hular aluminum

Kamar yadda muke iya gani, exaflop yayi daidai da ayyuka tiriliyan a sakan daya.
Wanda ya kai ga Ma'aikatar Makamashi ta Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Frontier supercomputer ya zama mafi girma a matsayin kwamfuta mafi sauri a duniya a cikin bugu na 500 na jerin TOPXNUMX Ayyukansa na 1,1 exaflops. Tsarin Frontier ya shiga tarihi kamar yadda na farko da ya kai matakin da ba a iya kaiwa ga aikin kwamfuta wanda aka fi sani da exascale, muna magana ne a bakin kofa na lissafin quintillion a sakan daya.
Koyaya, masu haɓakawa sun ci gaba. Frontier yana da matsakaicin matsakaicin kayan aiki na exaflops 2, ko lissafin quintillion biyu a sakan daya, wanda ke nufin karin ikon kwamfuta sau goma fiye da tsarin koli wanda kuma Oak Ridge National Laboratories ya haɓaka.
