The ever-increasing demand of computing power has led to the development of extremely large systems that consist of millions of components. Sustainable large scale computing systems can extend themselves to extreme scales. Both extreme and exascale computing defy the common wisdom of HPC and are regarded as unorthodox, but they could turn out to be indispensable necessities in the near future [1]. This paper provides a primer on extreme computing.
