The talk presents perspectives of scientific high-performance computing (HPC) in the exascale era, with a focus on the challenges and opportunities posed by the underlying hardware and software technologies to computational physics. We shall sketch selected activities towards enabling "grand challenge" science applications of the Max Planck Society on exascale-class supercomputers, highlighting the role of multidisciplinary application development teams composed of domain scientists, computer scientists, mathematicians, HPC experts, and of collaborations with hardware and software vendors. Taking the view of a computational physicist, we will specifically address some major technical and strategic programming challenges and share our experiences. opinions, and some practical recommendations for mastering them.
