Frontier (OLCF-5) is 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 Shasta cabinets, each node will feature a custom AMD EPYC (likely a Milan derivative) along with four custom Radeon GPUs. Interconnects will be comprised of AMD infinity fabric for the node and 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.
