The next supercomputer frontier presents a journey into the unknown unlike any other, Tzanio Kolev says. Exascale computers, the first of which are expected to begin operation in 2021, will perform a ...

PNNL team views 'undervolting' — turning down the power supplied to processors — as a way to make exascale computing feasible. If supercomputing is to reach its next milestone – exascale, or the ...

Much of mathematics involves so-called forward problems. These problems begin with a model of a physical system — say, a ball rolling down an incline plane — and researchers use parameters, such as ...
