Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s El Capitan supercomputer, now the fastest globally, processes 2.7 exaflops and advances nuclear stockpile management with precise 3D simulations, as noted by NextGov. Developed with NNSA, HPE, and AMD, this exascale system transforms modeling for national security, materials science, and climate studies, completing complex tasks in hours instead of weeks.
