  In October, 2016, the US Department of Energy launched the Exascale Computing
Project, which aims to deploy exascale computing resources for science and
engineering in the early 2020's. The project brings together application teams,
software developers, and hardware vendors in order to realize this goal.
Lattice QCD is one of the applications. Members of the US lattice gauge theory
community with significant collaborators abroad are developing algorithms and
software for exascale lattice QCD calculations. We give a short description of
the project, our activities, and our plans.
