Exascale computing
Exascale computers perform at least one exaflop — a quintillion (10^18) operations per second — by tightly coupling millions of processor cores and accelerators. They are the current summit of high-performance computing.
This scale makes previously impossible simulations routine: climate systems, fusion plasmas, protein folding, materials, and training the largest AI models — the computational backbone of frontier science.
The first exascale machines are operational; the frontier is now energy efficiency, reliability at scale, and software that can actually exploit the hardware.
The discovery loop, applied.
Through the Computational Discovery center, ASIZ aims the discovery loop at exascale computing: frontier models survey the literature and simulate the possibilities, rank the experiments most likely to resolve the open questions, and partner labs run the decisive ones — with results shared openly.
