Exascale Day 2026

October 18, 2026

Cray Frontier.

The exascale era is here

Surpassing the exascale milestone was never about the sheer performance, or the Top500 accolades, it was about powering great science. How organizations achieve their goals. Build better products, discover new materials, solve harder problems.

As we enter the post-exascale era, even larger problems are on the horizon. Artificial intelligence continues to play an impactful role, organizations must solve data sovereignty, and the integration of quantum computing is another critical factor.

So join HPE as we continue to celebrate Exascale Day and what's next!
