The Scientific Impact of the Exascale Computing Project

The recent arrival of the Frontier Supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory officially marked the dawn of the exascale computing era. Its successful deployment coincided with the culmination of the U.S. Department of Energy Exascale Computing Project (ECP), an ambitious, complex, and risky research and development effort that integrated contributions from a broad and diverse subset of the high-performance computing community. The success of ECP will ultimately be judged by the scientific and engineering advances that it enabled. In conclusion, this Special Issue is focused on showcasing early successes in the use of exascale resources to enable breakthroughs in key areas of science in engineering.

Exascale Was Not Inevitable; Neither Is What Comes Next

The long, steady advance of supercomputing capabilities historically makes it tempting to assume that similar future improvements are inevitable. In fact, the successful path to exascale systems was far from certain, requiring a shift to accelerator-based designs, an associated end-to-end rethinking of traditional computational approaches, and a fundamental change in how scientists collaborate and interact. Here in this article, we share lessons from the U.S. Department of Energy Exascale Computing Project along with perspectives on how to design and implement scientific applications in the exascale and post-exascale eras.
