EXASCALE COMPUTING COMPUTER COOLING
NEXT YEAR GERMANY WILL HOST THE FIRST EUROPEAN EXASCALE supercomputer called Jupiter, this is the latest example of the continent’s growing computing power and is expected to signifi cantly increase data processing speeds, a crucial factor for ensuring greater security. From mega all the way up to exa, each step in processing power is an order of magnitude with exa representing 10 to the eighteenth power or a one and 18 zeros after it. The amount of computing power possible in just one exascale supercomputer is amazing at a unique 1,000,000,000,000,000,000
BRIEF A BRIEF HISTORY OF SUPERCOMPUTING
The desire for ever more powerful computers originally began with code breaking and then eventually virtual testing of nuclear weapons. Now a key limitation to scientifi c progress is
computing power because computers are the analysts for huge sets of data that no human could cope with. From ENIAC in 1945, the very fi rst electronic

In comparison, the next level down, peta, is only 10 to the fi fteenth power, literally a fraction. Jupiter is based at Germany’s Jülich Supercomputing Centre, close to the Dutch border, and it will support the development of

high-precision models of complex systems. Such models will have a major impact on European scientifi c research. For similar reasons, the United States also has exascale computing. An exascale supercomputer in the United States is based at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory,
in Tennessee. H BACK TO CONTENTS IT-SA 2022 PREVIEW
