Exascale data centers would harness farms of petaflop-caliber computers to achieve 1,000-fold increases over the world’s fastest computers.
Hewlett-Packard Laboratories wants to lay the groundwork for exascale computing (an exaflop is equal to 1,000 petaflops) through a three-year grant to Georgia Institute of Technology (Atlanta) to develop Xen-based virtualization management software.
