Our mission is to make zettascale possible, exascale practical.
The Cambridge Open Zettascale Lab is dedicated to making exascale practical while facilitating innovation in emerging zettascale technologies.
Formed in collaboration with the University of Cambridge, Pembroke College, Intel and Dell Technologies, the Zettascale Lab enables technology leaders and experts from around the world to explore, test and advance the next generation of high-performance computers.
Zettascale refers to the next generation of supercomputers.
Zettascale systems will combine high-performance computing for simulation and artificial intelligence training with ultra-fast data storage and analytics.
These capabilities will allow scientists, engineers and clinicians to perform the advanced research and development necessary to begin solving the world’s critical problems.
With zettascale-class systems, we can better understand the nature of the universe, design new materials and clean energy solutions, as well as develop and deliver personalised medicine and data-driven healthcare.
exabytes of data will be created each day by 2025
of the overall HPC market is supercomputers
exascale computing systems will come online in 2025
it is predicted that the first zettascale system will be assembled in 2035
Seven key themes define the initial focus of the Cambridge Open Zettascale Lab. A regular series of projects, publications and technical resources will evidence the progress of these themes, and more themes will be elaborated as the Lab matures.
The Cambridge Open Zettascale Lab is undertaking advanced research to improve the efficiency of contemporary high-performance computing.
Exascale-class systems will generate huge data sets that are impossible to comprehend without further processing.
Ethernet is ubiquitous in the enterprise space but is only now showing promise in terms of its latency performance in an high-performance computing environment.
oneAPI is a new scalable programming model from Intel that targets heterogenous systems, easing the task of programming for and running code on different computer architectures.
Scientific OpenStack® creates a very powerful and flexible environment to manage and use large-scale high-performance systems.
Large-scale parallel simulation and modeling are not only crucial for research and scientific exploration, these applications play an increasingly integral role in guiding our responses to crises.
Storage for zettascale systems is an area of significant challenge. The explosion in the production and use of data in science, engineering, medicine and industry has led to performance bottlenecks and system slowdowns as traditional high-performance computing storage architectures fail to keep up with the increasingly important role that analysis plays in supercomputing workflows.

The University of Cambridge powers scientific research involving massive data sets with an energy-efficient, optimized high performance supercomputing infrastructure comprising 2,500 Dell PowerEdge servers.
A high performance computing (HPC) infrastructure developed by the University of Cambridge together with Dell Technologies revolutionizes what researchers can accomplish. It took scientists only 6 months to double the system’s energy efficiency.
COEL at the University of Cambridge collaborates to engineer a supercomputer for Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) in Morocco.
The need for data in clinical medicine is growing at an inordinate rate. Dell and the COEL at the University of Cambridge have collaborated to build the UK's largest academic supercomputer to solve some of the world's most demanding research and health-related problems.
Traditional supercomputers can consume 20-30 megawatts of power. The COEL at the University of Cambridge is collaborating with UK AEA and others to lower the electricity footprint.
In this interview, conducted on behalf of Dell Technologies, insideHPC spoke with Dr. Paul Calleja, from the Exascale Lab and the University of Cambridge, about the Wilkes3 supercomputer, currently ranked no. 4 on the Green500 list.
