“This milestone offers just a preview of Frontier’s unmatched capability as a tool for scientific discovery.”

The number of US systems on the list, meanwhile, dropped from 150 to 126.

Frontier also claimed the top spot on the Green500 list, which rates energy efficiency in supercomputers.

Frontier’s power efficiency came in at 52.23 gigaflops per watt.

Unveiled in 2007, the Green500 list is published two to three times a year by Green500.org.

It typically serves as a follow-up to the Top 500 list of worldwide supercomputers announced byTop500.org.
