By John Spizzirri, Contributing Writer, Argonne National Laboratory There is no questioning the power of a full head of shiny, buoyant hair. Not in real life, not in commercials, and, it turns out, not in computer-generated (CG) animation. Just as more expensive brands of shampoos provide volume, luster, and flow to a human head of…
The IDEAS Productivity project, in partnership with the DOE Computing Facilities of the ALCF, OLCF, and NERSC and the DOE Exascale Computing Project (ECP) is resuming the webinar series on Best Practices for HPC Software Developers, which we began in 2016. Register on exascaleproject.org.
Paul Messina, director of the U.S. #Exascale Computing Project, provided a wide-ranging review of ECP’s evolving plans last week at the HPC User Forum in Santa Fe, NM. The biggest change, of course, is ECP’s accelerated timetable with delivery of the first #exascale machine now scheduled for 2021. See more.
At the #Exascale Computing Project’s (ECP’s) annual meeting in February 2017, Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF) staff discussed OLCF resources that could be leveraged for ECP research and development, including the facility’s next flagship supercomputer, Summit, expected to go online in 2018.

The #Exascale Computing Project (ECP) has selected its fifth #Co-Design Center to focus on Graph Analytics — combinatorial (graph) kernels that play a crucial enabling role in many data analytic computing application areas as well as several ECP applications. Learn more.
LOS ALAMOS, N.M., Feb. 1, 2017—The #Exascale Computing Project (ECP), a collaborative project led by six Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories with the project management office established at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), today announced the formation of the #ECP Industry Council, an external advisory group of executives from some of the nation’s most…
The Department of Energy’s #Exascale Computing Project (ECP) today announced that it has selected four #co-design centers as part of a 4 year, $48 million funding award. The first year is funded at $12 million, and is to be allocated evenly among the four award recipients. Read the full announcement.
The Department of Energy’s #Exascale Computing Project (ECP) today announced the selection of 35 software development proposals representing 25 research and academic organizations. The awards for the first year of funding total $34 million and cover many components of the software stack for #exascale systems, including programming models and runtime libraries, mathematical libraries and frameworks,…
Improved computer climate models of the Earth’s clouds and more accurate simulations of the combustion engine are goals for two projects led by Sandia National Laboratories that were funded in the first round of activities from the Department of Energy’s Exascale Computing Project (ECP). Sandia also will conduct research with other laboratories on three…
