EoCoE in a Nutshell

HPC and the Exascale Transition

HPC is undergoing a major change as the next generation of Exascale systems pose numerous challenges:

01

Close to a 100 fold reduction in energy consumption.

02

Computing models capable of using several tens of millions of computing elements.

03

Heterogeneous computing nodes with a deep memory hierarchy.

Exascale computing

The exascale transition will require radical innovation in computing technology, both hardware and software.

Preparing HPC Applications for Exascale

Each Technical Challenge tackles an important bottle-neck for exascale applications. All Technical Challenges are closely linked to our Scientific Challenges but the tools/methodology developed have impact much beyond our flagship codes.

01

Programming Models

HPC performance, scalability, code architecture and parallelism issues to prepare selected applications to the Exascale ecosystem.

02

Scalable Solvers

Design and implement exascale-enabled linear algebra solvers for SC applications and integrate them into the SC application codes.

03

Data Flow

Provide I/O and data-flow support to SC taking care of resiliency, performance, data-size and accessibility.

04

Ensemble Runs

Develop an exascale-ready framework for ensemble runs and in-situ data analysis to empower the Weather and Hydrology applications enabling them to take benefit of next generation exascale machines.
