Abstract: With various exascale systems in different countries planned over the next three to five years, developing application software for such unprecedented computing capabilities and parallel scaling becomes a major challenge. In this study, we start our discussion with the current 125-Pflops Sunway TaihuLight system in China and its related application challenges and solutions. Based on our current experience with Sunway TaihuLight, we provide a projection into the next decade and discuss potential challenges and possible trends we would probably observe in future high performance computing software.
