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 1,000 petaFLOPS (1EF). 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.
