The US DOE seeks proposals for a supercomputer to succeed Frontier, with up to 5x more power to advance scientific research across various fields.
This project is exciting as ORNL will be building something more capable than Frontier, with technologies that will push the edge of what’s possible.Earlier this month, the agency issued a request for proposals for a cutting-edge supercomputer named Discover, touted to replace Frontier, the current fastest supercomputer in the world.
While the DOE has not specified an exact performance target for Discovery, it is expected to deliver three to five times more computational throughput than Frontier, potentially pushing its performance beyond 8.5 exaflops. Speaking about Discovery’s potential, Georgia Tourassi, ORNL’s associate laboratory director of computing and computational sciences highlighted how the scientific community would be able to model real-world situations at new levels of detail.
Beyond traditional scientific applications, the supercomputer is designed to excel in advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning tasks, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in fields like materials science and industrial product design.
