EPCC's Exascale journey: a retrospective of the past 10 years and a vision of the future

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract / Description of output

The preparations for Exascale computing started over a decade ago and EPCC, the supercomputing centre at the University of Edinburgh, was at the heart of these efforts from the beginning. In this article, we revisit some of the key research projects that have paved our Exascale path for the past 10 years and give our view of what is coming next.
