The January 2017 feature article of ASCR Discovery highlights exascale system software research led by the Center for Computing Research. The article “Upscale Computing: National labs lead the push for operating systems that let applications run at exascale,” discusses some of the exascale computing challenges from the operating system and runtime system perspective and the approach that two recent ASCR research projects, Hobbes and XPRESS, are taking to address these challenges. ASCR Discovery is an online magazine that publishes original articles about research projects sponsored by the Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research in the DOE Office of Science.
