DOE documents challenges in reaching the level of exascale computing:

The US Department of Energy recently released a report through its Office of Science detailing the top ten research challenges in reaching the level of exascale computing, once again calling on the UT's Jack Dongarra for input. Dongarra, a Distinguished Professor in the College of Engineering's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, director of the Innovative Computing Laboratory and one of five National Academy of Engineering members at UT, has long been at the forefront of exascale computing, or computing at roughly a thousand times the capability of recent supercomputers. An icon in his field, Dongarra is a lead author of the Top500, a list he helped start in 1993 to measure the world's fastest computers as well as numerous software packages for high-performance computing. As such, he is uniquely positioned to help current and future scientists achieve the exascale goal and has been made a member of the Department of Energy subcommittee studying how to achieve that goal.
