Nowadays, increasing the processing power of supercomputers is a worldwide race. This race, signifies the importance of supercomputers in the current era. They are engines of improving technology in almost all scientific areas, such as computational biology, earth sciences, cosmology, fluid dynamics, and plasma modeling, to name a few. Next generation of supercomputers can be divided into two broad categories: 1) emerging technologies such as neuromorphic and quantum computing and 2) Exascala computing. Emerging technologies will be the future of supercomputing, however, not in a very recent future. Therefore, in this paper, we have focused on Exascale computing, and have tried to provide a comprehensive overview of the main requirements for this technology to be achieved and become available. Requirements have been overviewed from different aspects; hardware, software, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing. In addition, we have attempted to provide a complete taxonomy of hot research topics within this area.
