"The Frontier system is based on Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)'s CrayEX platform which houses AMD EPYC 64C 2GHz processors along with AMD Instinct 250X professional GPUs. According to PC Mag, there are more than 9,400 CPUs and 37,000 GPUs set up in 74 purpose-built cabinets which takes the tally of cores to 8,730,112. "

"The combined computing power of these processing units was tested on an HPL benchmark which returned a score of 1.102 Exaflops (10 18) per second, the first for any supercomputer in the world. In comparison, Fugaku, which is theoretically an exascale supercomputer, manages a benchmark score of 442 petaflops per second. The Frontier system also features a 700 petabytes storage with HPE's Slingshot high-performance ethernet for data transfers. "

"To ensure that the supercomputer does not overheat, 6,000 gallons (22,712 liters) of water are pumped through these cabinets every minute using four pumps, PC Mag reported. "
