Scott Gibson ECP podcast producer starts things out with a brief overview of the project. Gibson: If you have just started following the US Exascale Computing Project—we refer to it as ECP—ECP is a seven-year project developed to deliver on some key mission objectives, some that we will discuss in this program. ECP is integrating those elements with specific hardware technologies for exascale system instantiations.

The Los Alamos role
With the goal to launch a US exascale ecosystem by , the ECP will have profound effects on the American people and the world. The ECP is a collaborative effort of two U. This role goes far beyond the limited scope of a physical computing system.
EXASCALE COMPUTING PROJECT
Supercomputing, or high-performance computing HPC , enables scientists and engineers to push the edge of what is possible for US science and innovation. Using HPC-based modeling and simulation, they are able to study systems that otherwise would be impractical or impossible to investigate in the real world due to their complexity, size, dangerousness, or fleeting nature. To address threats to security and future challenges in economic impact areas, the United States is making a strategic move in HPC—a grand convergence of advances in co-design, modeling and simulation, data analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. The success of this convergence hinges on achieving exascale, the next leap forward in computing. The exponential increase in memory, storage, and compute power made possible by exascale systems will drive breakthroughs in energy production, storage, and transmission; materials science; additive manufacturing; chemical design; artificial intelligence and machine learning; cancer research and treatment; earthquake risk assessment; and many other areas. With exascale computing, scientists and engineers will be able to solve problems that previously were out of reach, and the effects on the lives of the American people and the world will be profound.

Advancing Predictive Capability for Stockpile Stewardship. As part of the National Strategic Computing Initiative NSCI , the Exascale Computing Project ECP was established to develop a capable exascale ecosystem, encompassing applications, system software, hardware technologies and architectures, and workforce development to meet the scientific and national security mission needs of the U. Department of Energy DOE in the mids time frame. The goal of ECP is to deliver breakthrough modeling and simulation solutions that analyze more data in less time, providing insights and answers to the most critical U. Exascale computing refers to computing systems capable of at least one exaflop or a billion billion calculations per second 10
