SCALEXA — Exascale Computing

With the „SCALEXA“ funding program, the BMBF supports 15 collaborative projects in the research area of scientific computing and HPC (high-performance computing). A special focus lies on the active participation of industrial partners. The different projects focus on different aspects of high-performance computing especially on future exaflop machines. The different topics are improving the scalability of software used by the industrial partners, optimizing the node-level performance of industrial codes and numerical software, improving the efficiency of hardware usage and the energy-efficiency of software in the exascale regime. Further research questions are improved load-balancing and the processing of large data on upcoming supercomputers in the exascale era.

Members of the CDS participate in two different of the 15 project consortia funded in the SCALEXA program:
