Summary

Nutrition label

77% Informative

The world's first exascale supercomputer has created the most complex computer simulation of the universe.

The goal of this simulation is to test what researchers describe as "cosmological hydrodynamics" It's made from 9,472 AMD central processing units and 37,888 AMD graphics processing units.

Frontier was the fastest supercomputer in the world until another supercomputer, El Capitan , overtook it in November 2024 .

The world's second fastest supercomputer has created the most complex computer simulation of the universe.

The goal of this simulation is to test what researchers describe as "cosmological hydrodynamics" The simulations will allow researchers to explore their cosmological models.

The simulations can then be compared to what real astronomical surveys are finding to determine which model best fits the observations.
