Record Notes
Frontier is an exascale supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility. OLCF describes Frontier as delivered in 2021, entering early operations in 2022, and built as an HPE Cray EX system with AMD EPYC CPUs and AMD Instinct MI250X accelerators.
TOP500 identifies Frontier as an HPE system at DOE/SC/Oak Ridge National Laboratory, with current measured power of 24,607.00 kW. ADCI uses that current TOP500 system-power value as the selected public capacity.
TOP500 also records a historical 21,100.00 kW measurement from the 2022 exascale-era listing. ADCI preserves that lower historical value as context rather than keeping the old 21 MW public figure as the current selected capacity.
