It's the most wonderful time of the year, True Believers: it's DCD Magazine publication day.

That's right, you lucky lot, we have a whole magazine jam-packed with data center news, features and opinions, and it's yours, for free.

For the cover feature, we took a deep dive into the global race to build the world's first exascale machine. This massive competition for massive machines requires an appropriately massive cover feature - we hear from the heads of the EU's exascale initiatives, the leaders of the DOE's Exascale Computing Project, the chief scientist behind China's HPC program, as well as HPC and exascale experts from IBM, HPE, Cray, Nvidia, Arm, and more.
