Challanges of Hexaflop Supercomputer!

Challanges of Hexaflop Supercomputer!

there's the issue of reliability, which tends to decline as the parts
count increases. Given that an exascale computer might have a million
hundred-core processors, Dosanjh speculated that such a machine might
run for 10 minutes before suffering a failure. To manage a machine with
so many parts, new fault-tolerance schemes need to be developed.

What for an hexaflop supercomputer?
To show power, to develop weapons and bombs, to be as God? But God creates, does not destruct!
