Video: Cray Announces First Exascale System

In this video, Cray CEO Pete Ungaro announces Aurora - Argonne National Laboratory's forthcoming supercomputer and the United States' first exascale system. Ungaro offers some insight on the technology, what makes exascale performance possible, and why we're going to need it. "It is an exciting testament to Shasta's flexible design and unique system and software capabilities, along with our Slingshot interconnect, which will be the foundation for Argonne's extreme-scale science endeavors and data-centric workloads. Shasta is designed for this transformative exascale era and the convergence of artificial intelligence, analytics and modeling and simulation- all at the same time on the same system -- at incredible scale."
