At Oak Ridge National Laboratory, a supercomputer named Frontier has broken the exascale computing barrier, meaning it can calculate more than a million trillion floating-point operations per second.

Exascale computing is no longer a distant concept, but a reality reshaping how massive computational tasks are approached. However, this rise has brought new challenges, particularly in thermal ...

Researchers working on the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) project have developed an entirely new global atmosphere model. The model has a resolution 30 times finer than global climate ...
