The race to exascale speed is getting a little more interesting with the introduction of HPE's Astra -- what will be the world's largest Arm-based supercomputer.

The NNSA will use the supercomputer to run advanced modeling and simulation workloads for things like national security, energy, science and health care.

The HPC system is comprised of 5,184 Arm-based processors -- the Thunder X2 processor, built by Cavium. Each processor has 28 cores and runs at 2 GHz. Astra will deliver over 2.3 theoretical peak petaflops of performance, which should put it well within the top 100 supercomputers ever built -- a milestone for an Arm-based machine, Vildibill said.
