Exascale computing is a 21st-century attempt to move computing capabilities beyond the existing, successful petascale. If achieved, it would represent a thousand-fold increase over that scale.[1]

The initiative has been endorsed by two US agencies: the Department of Energy and the National Nuclear Security Administration.[2]
