Summary:The article discusses the exascale computing trend in the high-performance computing (HPC) community. A study by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) highlighted the energy budget and reliability issues facing any exascale system projects. It points out a need to rethink algorithms for the optimization of the performance/power/reliability triad. It notes the potential use of embedded systems in addressing the codesign challenge for HPC and exascale systems.
