A Status Check on Global Exascale Ambitions
As we head toward the annual Supercomputing Conference season we wanted to take a moment for a level-set on exascale. …

SPONSORED If you’ve been living in a world of heavy-duty parallel file systems and scale-out NAS, chances are good you have been there for a while. …
Europe is known for taking its own routes in almost every segment and supercomputing is no different. …
Scientists have unlocked many atomic secrets through physics research that studies particle interactions such as quarks, gluons, protons, and neutrons within the nucleus of an atom. …
Exascale systems are expensive but for labs retrofitting existing facilities for novel cooling, the compute, storage, network, and software are only the beginning of high costs. …
Many have tried, but few parallel file system upstarts have challenge the dominance of Lustre, and to a lesser extent these days, GPFS/Spectrum Scale. …
There was an outside chance that China might pull a surprise on the HPC community and launch the first true exascale system – meaning capable of more than 1 exaflops of peak theoretical 64-bit floating point performance if you want to be generous, and 1 exaflops sustained on the High Performance Linpack (HPL) benchmark if you don’t – but that didn’t happen. …
If we could take the Fugaku supercomputer out of the HPC market equation and while we were at it, pretend the pandemic never happened, the supercomputing market would be much easier to pin down. …
We are starting to see more exascale and large supercomputing sites benchmark and project on deep learning capabilities of systems designed for HPC applications but only a few have run system-wide tests to see how their machines might stack up against standard CNN and other metrics. …
We took a look recently at the compute engines at the heart of the future – and as yet unnanmed – Sunway exascale system that will be installed at the National Supercomputing Center in Wuxi, China. …
