PIConGPU running on ORNL's Frontier

2022

Just how fast can the world’s fastest supercomputer go? Maybe even faster than imagined.

Researchers studying plasma physics for particle accelerators recently used the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility’s Frontier supercomputer to achieve a speedup by as much as eightfold in their code’s performance – more than double the improvement expected. The achievement raises scientists’ already high hopes for the world’s first exascale supercomputing system.
