Intel and the Department of Energy will build Aurora, the U.S.'s first exascale supercomputer. It can do a quintillion calculations per second.
Dr. Rajeeb Hazra, corporate vice president and general manager of Enterprise and Government Group at IntelThe effort marks a"transformational" moment in the evolution of high performance computing, Dr. Rajeeb Hazra, corporate vice president and general manager of the enterprise and government group at Intel told Business Insider.A computer that powerful is no small thing: Aurora will have more than 200 cabinets.
When it's finished, this supercomputer will be able to do outer space simulations, drug discovery, and more. The government plans to use it to develop applications around science, energy and defense. Aurora can also be used by universities and national labs. For example, it can be used to safely simulate and test weapons, without actually setting off weapons or endangering people. It could be used to design better batteries, wind power systems and nuclear reactors. It could be used to better understand earthquake hazard and model climate change risks.
It could even be used for research on cancer, cardiac risk, traumatic brain injuries and suicide prevention, especially for veterans. The can apply large scale data analytics and machine learning to understand the risk factors for these physical and mental health problems to better prevent them.
