Abstract
At Oak Ridge National Laboratory, a supercomputer named Frontier has broken the exascale computing barrier, meaning it can calculate more than a million trillion floating-point operations per second. On C&EN’s podcast Stereo Chemistry , reporters Craig Bettenhausen and Ariana Remmel discuss how Frontier works and what that kind of computing power could mean for computational chemistry. And Remmel reflects on their visit to Tennessee to explore Frontier in person. The conversation is part of a new podcast project, C&EN Uncovered , on which chemistry reporters revisit cover stories to share the most striking moments from their reporting, their biggest takeaways, and what got left on the cutting-room floor. Remmel’s cover story about exascale computing appeared in the Sept. 5, 2022, print issue of C&EN. Listen at cenm.ag/uncovered-computing .
