The Exascale Computing Project jointly funded more than a billion dollars of industry R&D to accelerate DOE goals for exascale computing. These efforts enabled us to delivered on our ambitious goals to deploy a capable exascale system, that uses less than 20MW per exaflop, in 2021. However, the impact of these efforts will continue to pay dividends for the next decade in terms of U.S. Leadership in Advanced Computing and Artificial Intelligence.
