How Will El Capitan Run? Software and Storage Solutions Powering NNSA’s First Exascale Supercomputer

I like the ICF implosion progression images on the hallway walls.

[@Erik-rp1hi]

Those pictures on the wall.........implosion events that are computer modeled?

When they mention portability are they referring to apptainer?

[@eliasboegel]

It refers to "performance portability", i.e. the ability to run a single piece of software at scale with good performance on a large variety of different system architectures - different CPU/GPU vendors, different architectures of different HPC systems, etc.

[@wileamyp]

I'd expect a lot of the heavy lifting behind performance portability to come from templated frameworks like RAJA and Kokkos, or using OpenMP target offload. Well, at least until more support for native C++ and Fortran parallelism comes along.

[@eliasboegel]

@@wileamyp Usually its a mix of MPI for inter-node parallelism, and any of your mentions (and more) for on-node parallelism.

[@wileamyp]

But does it run Doom? 😂
Of course, someone's gonna have to port it to use ROCm first

Next leap in super computing will be quantum computing
