We like to say that National Exascale Day honors those who keep asking what if, why not, and what's next — with the advanced technology to get the answers. We like to say that with the modern technology to get the answers, we can answer the questions.
This era in technology will have a major effect on virtually every facet of our daily lives. Anything from healthcare and manufacturing to finding new energy sources and the universe's origins will be affected by the change. Exascale is described as a quintillion computations per second. To put an example, if all 7.7 billion people on earth each completed one calculation per second takes over four years. A quintillion computation can be completed in 1 second by an exascale computer.
