ABSTRACT: Over the past forty years, progress in supercomputing has tracked progress in integrated circuit scaling,
and this has resulted in exponential improvements in system-level performance. However, changes in device physics now seriously threaten further sustained progress toward exaflops HPC systems. The DARPA Ubiquitous High Performance Computing (UHPC) program is intended to foster new innovative projects to develop radically new computer systems that overcome the challenges of efficiency, dependability, and programmability anticipated in the exascale era. The panelists, who lead the selected UHPC teams, will discuss the perspective on how to address these challenges and their comprehensive hardware/software strategy they developed for the UHPC program.
