'''Exascale Computing Project''' (ECP) was a Department of Energy initiative managed by the Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research that united over 2,800 researchers across the United States to deliver the nation’s first capable exascale computing ecosystem, concluding in 2024 after deploying systems like Frontier, Aurora, and El Capitan, which collectively exceed 3 exaflops and support over 50 mission-critical applications as of 2025. Launched in 2016 with a $1.8 billion budget, ECP—a joint effort of DOE’s Office of Science and National Nuclear Security Administration—developed an integrated stack of applications, software, and hardware, enhancing energy assurance, scientific discovery, and national security, with post-Hurricane Helene resilience efforts in 2025 leveraging its legacy tools like the Extreme-scale Scientific Software Stack (E4S) across DOE facilities.

==History==


The Exascale Computing Project was established in 2016 under the [[Energy Policy Act of 2005]], which bolstered DOE’s advanced computing research, as part of the National Strategic Computing Initiative.<ref>"ECP About," Exascale Computing Project, https://www.exascaleproject.org/about/, accessed February 22, 2025.</ref> It progressed from 2016 to 2024, deploying Frontier (2022, 1.1 exaflops), Aurora (2023), and El Capitan (2024), concluding technical work in December 2023 after supporting over 50 projects, with 2025 efforts transitioning its E4S and resilience tools post-Hurricane Helene to ongoing DOE missions.

==Implementation==
==Implementation==


The program was implemented through co-design of applications, software (e.g., E4S), and hardware, deploying exascale systems at DOE facilities like Oak Ridge, Argonne, and Lawrence Livermore.<ref>"ECP Implementation," Exascale Computing Project, https://www.exascaleproject.org/, accessed February 22, 2025.</ref> It ran from 2016-2024, enhancing over 300 million acres of habitat modeling via partnerships, with 2025 efforts leveraging its tools post-Helene for energy and scientific resilience across all 50 states.
