Avision of post-exascale programming

Abstract

Exascale systems have been under development for quite some time and will be available for use in a few years. It is time to think about future post-exascale systems. There are many main challenges with regard to future post-exascale systems, such as processor architecture, programming, storage, and interconnect. In this study, we discuss three significant programming challenges for future post-exascale systems: heterogeneity, parallelism, and fault tolerance. Based on our experience of programming on current large-scale systems, we propose several potential solutions for these challenges. Nevertheless, more research efforts are needed to solve these problems.
