$430 Million Public/Private Investment in Exascale Computing in U.S.
The U.S. Department of Energy announced on June 15, 2017 the
award of $258 million in research funding to six U.S. companies: Advanced
Microsystems, Cray, Intel, HP, NVIDIA, and IBM.
The research funding is to support the development of the exascale
supercomputer ecosystem. An exascale
computer is 50 times faster than today’s super computers. The U.S. has five of the world’s
top-ten fastest computers, but the U.S.’s fastest computer is third after the
top two located in China. The six
companies will provide additional funding to make the investment close to $430
million in total. The press release is available,
