Transition of hpc towards exascale computing.

The US, Europe, Japan and China are racing to develop the next generation of supercomputers - exascale machines capable of 10 to the 18th power calculations a second - by 2020. But the barriers are daunting: the challenge is to change the paradigm of high-performance computing.The 2012 biennial high...
