Supercomputers at the Exascale

Continued work on faster and better solutions to hard problems.   Still think its mostly about designing and delivering better software in context and to scale.

Intel and Argonne National Lab on 'exascale' and their new Aurora supercomputer
The scale of supercomputing has grown almost too large to comprehend, with millions of compute units performing calculations at rates requiring, for the first time, the exa prefix — denoting quadrillions per second. How was this accomplished? With careful planning... and a lot of wires, say two people close to the project.Having noted the news that Intel and Argonne National Lab were planning to take the wrapper off a new exascale computer called Aurora (one of several being built in the U.S.) earlier ...
