Panel: Extending the Lifespan of Supercomputers — Experience, 
Challenges, and Opportunities

The implicit HPC rule “replace every few years with something bigger”is 
under pressure. With Moore's and Koomey's laws fading, machine 
production delays, rising costs, environmental scrutiny, and 
geopolitical constraints on component supply chains, extending the life 
of supercomputers is becoming both a necessity and a research challenge.

This panel draws on real-world experience, from unplanned extensions 
(Summit@ORNL, Sierra@LLNL) to strategic decisions (Fugaku@RIKEN), to 
examine the realities of aging systems: vendor lock-in, software 
fragility, rising failure rates, and the tension between sustaining 
compute capacity and ever-growing application demands.

Panelists: Al Geist, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Judith Hill, 
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and Fumiyoshi Shoji, RIKEN
