'''Frontier''' ('''OLCF-5''') is {{\\|Summit|Summit's}} successor, a planned [[exascale]] [[supercomputer]] that will be operated by the [[DoE]] [[Oak Ridge National Laboratory]]. Frontier is expected to go into operation in the 2021-2022 timeframe.

== History ==
Frontier is a planned exascale supercomputer with a theoretical peak performance of over 1,500 petaFLOPS (1.5 EF). The design goal of Frontier is to achieve around 50-100x performance improvement in real science applications or alternatively around 5-10x application performance improvement over {{\\|Summit}}.

== Overview ==
Frontier is expected to be one of the fastest - if not the fastest - supercomputer when delivered in 2021. Comprising over 100 {{cray|Shasta}} cabinets, each node will feature a custom [[AMD]] {{amd|EPYC}} (likely a {{amd|Milan|l=core}} derivative) along with four custom Radeon GPUs. [[interconnect architecture|Interconnects]] will be comprised of AMD {{amd|infinity fabric}} for the node and {{cray|Slingshot}} for the system. All in all, Frontier is targeting 2-4x the performance and capacity of {{\\|Summit}}'s I/O subsystem and 5-10x the real-application performance of {{\\|Summit}} with an expected peak performance of over 1.5 exaFLOPS.
