Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory announced on Wednesday that it had begun to install components of its upcoming El Capitan supercomputer that is set to come fully online sometime next year. "We have begun receiving and installing components for El Capitan, first #exascale #supercomputer," a Tweet by LLNL reads. Just like Frontier and Aurora, El Capitan is based on HPE's Shasta supercomputer architecture and is therefore built by HP Enterprise.

El Capitan will be the industry's first supercomputer to use hybrid processors packing both general purpose and stream processors.
