Special broadcast: Discover the power of 18 zeros this Exascale Day

[Brandon_Draeger]

Join us on October 18^th at 10 AM PDT to see how exascale computing will change the world. Mark your calendar and check out the agenda below featuring engaging topics and dialogue with leading industry supercomputing experts. What is exascale?

It allow us to perform 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 calculations per second. That’s 18 zeros – 10¹⁸ – a quintillion. To visualize the magnitude of a quintillion, consider this: It would take 40,000 years for quintillion gallons of water to flow over Niagara Falls.

Why celebrate Exascale Day?

Exascale is about more than just larger, faster computers. It signals a new age of insights and a new era of innovation. Breaking through a speed barrier of 10¹⁸ calculations per second will help solve the world’s toughest problems – and answer questions we didn’t even know to ask.

Exascale in action

From forecasts that predict natural disasters and save lives, to optimizing renewable energy sources, here are some of the many ways exascale computing is helping to make our world a better place.

The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) is harnessing the latest advances in science and supercomputing to derive life‑saving insights from vast amounts of disparate data. The team is supercharging its modeling environment to be even more predictive, granular, and hyperlocal.

Carnegie Clean Energy believes ocean waves could change the global energy game and is using supercomputing to solve the challenges to create renewable, clean energy.

At the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Perlmutter is playing a key role in advanced computing, AI, data science, and more.

And Dr. Jerome Baudry, a molecular biophysics professor from The University of Alabama in Huntsville, accelerated drug discovery on the COVID-19 frontlines – where supercomputing reduced the time required to study critical stages of drug design.
