However, come autumn 2024, a newcomer named &#8220;El Capitan&#8221; from California is expected to take the lead in the Top500 rankings.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>The Key Points at a Glance<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>El Capitan achieves 1.742 exaflops and is the new leader among supercomputers.<\/li>\n<li>Frontier increased its performance to 1.353 exaflops but lost the top spot to El Capitan.<\/li>\n<li>HPC6 in Italy cost over 100 million Euro and achieves 477 petaflops.<\/li>\n<li>HPE dominates with 49.2% of HPC performance, followed by Atos and Microsoft Azure.<\/li>\n<li>USA leads in performance with 55.3%, and in the number of systems with 34.6%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Supercomputers far outstrip conventional computers in terms of computing power. To rank among the top 10 most powerful high-performance computers (HPCs), they must be capable of at least 208.10 petaflops per second (PFlops) or 208 quadrillion (10\u00b9\u2075) floating-point operations per second. The new record holder, <strong>El Capitan<\/strong> from HPE in California, achieves 1.742 PFlops and is, after Frontier and Aurora, the third exaflops powerhouse globally.<\/p>\n<p>Named after a mountain in Yosemite National Park, El Capitan stands in the California-based Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, which was originally established in 1952 in response to the first Russian atomic bomb, as reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capital.de\/wirtschaft-politik\/neuer-spitzenreiter--das-sind-die-groessten-supercomputer-35382240.html\">Capital<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The theoretical peak performance of the new record holder is significantly higher at 2.746.38 PFlops. Meanwhile, it consumes 29,581 kW, which is more than 9,000 kW less than the number three, <strong>Aurora<\/strong>, in the Argonne National Laboratory, which belongs to the US Department of Energy. Aurora is the second supercomputer to reach the milestone of one quintillion calculations per second.<\/p>\n<h2>Four of ten top performers in Europe<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>Frontier<\/strong>, also operated by the American Department of Energy in Tennessee, held the top spot until summer 2024. It increased its performance from 1.206 to 1.353 EFlops but had to relinquish its leading position to a newcomer in California.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Eagle<\/strong>, entered by Microsoft Azure, manages 561.20 PFlops, placing it in fourth position. It also features Nvidia technology and boasts 2,073,600 cores, roughly a quarter as many as the top three contenders.<\/p>\n<p>The largest European supercomputer is the <strong>HPC6<\/strong>, commissioned by the Italian energy giant Eni in December 2024. This supercomputer is equipped with nearly 14,000 AMD graphics processors and, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.it-boltwise.de\/italiens-supercomputer-hpc6-ein-meilenstein-in-der-energieforschung.html\">according to IT-Boltwise<\/a>, cost over 100 million Euro. It achieves 477 PFlops and is set to aid research into fusion energy and the enhancement of solar panel efficiency, among other things.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Fugaku<\/strong> HPC, now in sixth place, is housed at the RIKEN Center for Computational Science in Kobe, Japan. With a performance of 442.01 PFlops, it primarily serves scientific and research purposes. Close behind in seventh place is a Swiss supercomputer named <strong>Alps<\/strong>. Packed with Nvidia technology, it delivers 434.90 PFlops. In eighth place is the Finnish <strong>LUMI<\/strong> from HPE, with 379.70 PFlops. The ninth spot is occupied by <strong>Leonardo<\/strong>, set up by Atos, now Eviden, which achieves 241.20 PFlops with BullSequana XH2000, Intel Xeon Platinum 8358, and Nvidia technology.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin:32px 0;display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:12px;\">\n<div style=\"flex:1;min-width:160px;background:#004a59;border-radius:10px;padding:24px 20px;color:#fff;\">\n<div style=\"font-size:0.65em;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:1.5px;color:#0bb7fd;border-bottom:2px solid #0bb7fd;padding-bottom:8px;margin-bottom:12px;\">STATISTIC<\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size:clamp(1.5em,5vw,2.4em);font-weight:800;color:#0bb7fd;line-height:1;\">100 million Euro<\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size:0.8em;margin-top:8px;opacity:0.8;line-height:1.3;\">cost.
