This study will review the future of computing beyond exascale to meet national security needs at the National Nuclear Security Administration. (Exascale refers to a computer that performs 10^18 floating point operations per second.) It will consider future computing technologies for meeting those needs including quantum computing and other novel hardware, computer architecture, and software; the likely trajectory of relevant hardware and software technologies; and the ability of the U.S. industrial base to meet NNSA's needs.

Charting a Path in a Shifting Technical and Geopolitical Landscape: Post-Exascale Computing for the National Nuclear Security Administration
Consensus Study Report
·2023
In 2022, the United States installed its first exascale computing system for the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science, with an National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) system scheduled for 2023. The DOE Exascale Computing Project (ECP)2 has developed new applications capabilities, par...
