The supercomputer is called Frontier; recently, a team of researchers recently used it to run the largest astrophysical simulation of the universe yet. The supercomputer’s simulation size corresponds to surveys taken by large telescope observatories, which to this point had not been possible. Last month, a team of researchers put the then-fastest supercomputer in the world to work on a rather large quandary: the nature of the universe’s atomic and dark matter. Last month, a team of researchers put the then-fastest supercomputer in the world to work on a rather large quandary: the nature of the universe’s atomic and dark matter. The simulations’ results were announced last month, when Frontier was still the fastest supercomputer in the world. But shortly after, Frontier was eclipsed by the El Capitan supercomputer as the world’s fastest. How close are we to having supercomputers as a reality ?
