exascale adjective
/ˈek.sə.skeɪl/
An exascale computer is very powerful, able to carry out one quintillion (1018) mathematical operations per second
Exascale supercomputers are the next frontier in computing. They can quickly analyze massive volumes of data and realistically simulate many of the extremely complex processes and relationships behind the fundamental forces of the universe—in a way that’s never been done before. Many industries and systems could be affected, including precision medicine, climate science, and nuclear physics.

Turns out that quite a few of us have heard of – if not used so far – exascale computers
and also are quite interested in sky computing.
What a great idea to have everything from different operators.
So if you needed something from Google and something else from Microsoft and something yet again from the Frightful Five…
Yes in a way they are all brand names, but they can quickly become a real word, like “hoover”.
