Supercomputers in 2030: Exascale and Beyond
Supercomputers in 2030: Exascale and Beyond Supercomputers have long been at the forefront of scientific discovery, pushing the boundaries of what’s computationally possible. As we look towards 2030, the landscape of supercomputing promises even more revolutionary advancements, particularly with the advent of exascale computing and beyond. This article delves into the expected developments, challenges, and potential impacts of supercomputers in the coming decade. The Exascale Era: A New Frontier Exascale computing, characterized by systems capable of performing at least one exaflop (10^18 floating-point operations per second), marks a significant milestone. These machines are not just faster; they represent a qualitative
