Though a bit off-topic, I’ve come across several news about the “Frontier” supercomputer, which has become No.1 in the Top500 list recently.

Frontier features a theoretical peak performance of 2 exaflops, or two quintillion calculations per second, making it ten times more powerful than ORNL’s Summit system.
When I was a student, I read some introductory book about supercomputers (at that time), which illustrated some “dream (future)” projects if petaflops became available. But now the order is different… (exa). I wonder what future supercomputers will become like in 10-20 years (which might be quantum computers?)
