| contents | Plasma simulations are among the most computationally demanding scientific workloads, combining high-dimensional kinetic evolution, particle-mesh coupling, field solves, and data-intensive communication. As general-purpose processor scaling slows, post-Moore technologies are being explored to address bottlenecks in data movement, memory access, and power consumption. This paper provides a community perspective on the role of these technologies in plasma simulation, assessing three major classes: reconfigurable and data-path accelerators, non-von Neumann architectures, and quantum computing. Each is evaluated, in a co-design approach, against representative plasma workloads spanning particle-in-cell, continuum Vlasov, gyrokinetic, fluid/MHD, hybrid, and warm dense matter methods. We find that no single technology can replace existing HPC platforms. Instead, three tiers of opportunity emerge: FPGA-class and data-path accelerators offer near-term kernel offload and workflow-level data services, non-von Neumann architectures represent medium-term directions for operator-level acceleration, and quantum computing, although the least mature, is potentially the most disruptive for warm dense matter and inertial confinement fusion microphysics. We outline best practices for selective adoption and identify focused demonstrators, benchmarking, and modular software ecosystems as immediate community priorities. |
