New Hardware Brings Students Closer to Exascale Computing

Much like household computers, current supercomputers become obsolete with advancements in technology. This poses a challenge for researchers when it is critical to have the latest hardware on hand to continue their studies.

School of Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) Assistant Professor Spencer Bryngelson recently received an AMD MI210 GPU accelerator to use in his computational physics lab. In doing so, the research group takes a step closer to gaining access to Frontier, the world’s first exascale supercomputer.
