The PathForward element of the Exascale Computing Project (ECP) Hardware and Integration (HI) focus area has met its goals of preparing the US industry for exascale system procurements and generally improving US competitiveness in the worldwide computing market. This report is a companion to the deliverable for the ECP milestone PM-HI-1040, Assess PathForward Impact Against Exascale Hardware Challenges, which gives a summary of the final status of each PathForward project, describes progress achieved against PathForward contract milestones, and includes a final assessment of each vendor’s progress on key exascale challenges. This companion document details the results of the PathForward research to the extent possible without disclosing proprietary information and the impact on products and US exascale systems. In addition, it captures lessons learned in order to inform future projects in general and in high-performance computing in particular.
