extreme-scale computing (The leading edge of high-performance computing (HPC), an area of considerable growth and pace of progress, extreme-scale computing relates directly to the hardware, software, and applications enabling simulations in the petascale performance range and beyond. • An extreme scale system is one that is one thousand times more capable than a current comparable system, with the same power and physical footprint. Intuitively, this means that the power consumption and physical footprint of a current departmental server should be enough to deliver petascale performance, and that a single, commodity chip should deliver terascale performance.  computer.org MED) |
