Record Notes
Aurora is an exascale supercomputer at Argonne National Laboratory's Argonne Leadership Computing Facility. ALCF describes Aurora as an Intel and Hewlett Packard Enterprise system launched in January 2025 for large-scale simulation, artificial intelligence, and data-intensive science.
TOP500 identifies Aurora as an HPE Cray EX / Intel system installed at DOE/SC Argonne National Laboratory, with measured power of 38,698.36 kW. ADCI uses that measured system power as the selected public capacity for the individual supercomputer record.
Argonne's facility-upgrade reporting also describes 60 MW of electrical-room capacity for Aurora, future Argonne computing systems, and building electricity. ADCI preserves that broader facility-capacity figure as context rather than using it as the selected system-power value.
