It is an exciting time to be a computational scientist. By 2018, some predict we will be in the exaflop era, in which supercomputers will be some 20 times more powerful than the human brain. The enormity of these figures is rivalled only by that of the emergent opportunities for applications of this computing power. Exascale computing would allow us to tackle grand challenge problems in virtual medicine, climate change, renewable energy, advanced materials, resource recovery, and national security. These problems offer a fundamental connection between extreme computing, industrial and economic growth, and societal imperatives.

这是一个令人兴奋的时刻成为一个计算科学家。到2018年，有人预测我们将进入exaflop时代，超级计算机的功能将是人脑的20倍。这些数字的重要性只有应用这种计算能力的新兴机会才能与之相媲美。Exascale计算将使我们能够解决虚拟医学，气候变化，可再生能源，先进材料，资源回收和国家安全等重大挑战问题。这些问题提供了极端计算，工业和经济增长以及社会需求之间的根本联系。
