other technologies necessary to exploit future exascale systems.
+ enabling and optimising applications for exascale in any area;
+ developing and enhancing algorithms for exascale systems;
+ aiding the exploitation of massively parallel systems through tools, 
e.g. performance analysis, debugging, development environments;
+ programming models and libraries for exascale;
+ exascale runtimes and system software;
