With the advanced technology to get the answers, we like to say that National Exascale Day honors those who keep asking what if, why not, and what's next.

This era of electronics will have a major effect on virtually every facet of our daily lives. It will influence everything from healthcare and manufacturing to finding new energy sources and the universe's origins. Exascale is defined as a quintillion computations per second. For example, if all 7.7 billion people on earth each completed one calculation per second, it would take over four years. An exascale computer can do a quintillion calculations in 1 second.
