DescriptionIn the next few years, exascale computing systems will
become available to the scientific community. They will
require new levels of parallelization, new models of
memory and storage, and a variety of node architectures
for processors and accelerators. They will also provide
simulation capabilities with unprecedented scale and
complexity across many fields of science, helping to
answer fundamental science questions in cosmology,
astrophysics, and nuclear science; understand and
address issues in climate change, the environment and
seismic safety; and aid in the design of advanced
materials, manufacturing, energy systems, and
pharmaceuticals. These systems may also offer exascale
data analysis capabilities, allowing genomics, images,
and sensor data to be processed, analyzed, and modeled
using comparisons with simulations, deep learning
algorithms or other machine learning methods. In this
talk, I will present some of the exciting science
opportunities, the need for advanced in algorithms and
mathematics to advance along with the system
performance, and how the variety of workloads will
stress the different aspects of exascale hardware and
software systems.
