I have no problem with “exascale” or whatever, it’s just not a barrier, there was nothing in particular to overcome to get there, it’s just a signpost along the normal path forwards.
Unlike the sound barrier in flight, it was for a while thought impossible to fly faster than sound and there are indeed models of subsonic flight that have an infinity in them at the speed of sound. It indeed took new models and radically different designs to fly faster than sound.
Making this computer do a certain number of calculations didn’t involve any such problem to overcome.
