Frontier (supercomputer)
Frontier or OLCF-5 is an exascale supercomputer being planned for delivery in 2021 at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility. It will be the United States' first exascale computer with a target computation performance of ~1.5 exaFLOPS.[1][2][3] It is being built at a cost of US$600 million.
