ECP Focus Areas
To achieve ‘capable’ exascale requires a holistic approach that uses co-design and integration from Application Development, Software Technology, and Hardware & Integration.
Application Development
Responsible for delivering science-based applications able to exploit exascale for high-confidence insights and answers to critical problems in national security, energy assurance, economic competitiveness, and health care.
Software Technology
Concentrates on developing a comprehensive and coherent software stack that will enable application developers to productively write highly parallel applications that can portably target diverse exascale architectures.
Hardware and Integration
Supports vendor and lab hardware R&D activities required to develop node and system designs for at least two capable exascale systems with diverse architectural features.
