From the article:

>Frontier, the world’s first exascale supercomputer—or at least the first one that’s been made public—is coming online soon for general scientific use at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. Another such machine, Aurora, is seemingly on track to be completed any day at Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois. Now Europe’s getting up to speed. Through a €500 million pan-European effort, an exascale supercomputer called JUPITER (Joint Undertaking Pioneer for Innovative and Transformative Exascale Research) will be installed sometime in 2023 at the Forschungszentrum Jülich, in Germany.

Why do the supercomputing resources at the Forschungszentrum Jülich look so sci-fi? Like, why are they lit like that?

I know exactly what hardware it will have (ok, best guess…): Epyc Genoa paired with H100s with Mellanox interconnect.

Exaflop refers to how many operations it can perform per second (a flop is a floating point operation). More operations means more power and the ability to perform larger operations in a shorter time. Or in other words, science go brrrrr 😁
