2.64 Quadrillion Calculations a Second: Meet the US Space Force’s New Supercomputer

Massive and complex datasets that once took weeks to analyze can now be processed in seconds with the Makau high-performance supercomputer from the US Space Force’s Maui High Performance Computing Center (MHPCC).

Powered by 74 graphics processing units, the device is a six-cabinet Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Cray XD2000 system equipped with liquid-cooled, rear-door heat exchangers. 

Designed to handle rapidly growing data volumes, the supercomputer has 19.2 terabytes of usable memory and can reach a peak performance of 2.64 petaflops, or 2.64 quadrillion calculations per second.
