Behind The Scenes On Building An Exascale Supercompute
HPE News, Wednesday, October 18,2023
This Exascale Day, HPE's Trish Damkroger reflects on the journey to exascale and highlights the massive accomplishments and key learnings to realizing a first-of-its-kind innovation
More than a decade ago, after accomplishing many world-first scientific and engineering milestones using petascale supercomputers, scientists, researchers, and engineers still required more compute to solve problems.
That is when exascale computers - which are ten times more powerful than those petascale machines - were envisioned. There is a greater need for more compute to better understand full systems, whether it is the human body from inside a cell to its full organ, or weather patterns from meters to kilometers.
