NERSC is the principal provider of high performance computing
services to laboratory and university researchers whose work
advances the mission of DOE’s Office of Science (DOE SC).
Our mission is to accelerate the pace of scientific discovery
by providing high performance computing tools to tackle science’s
biggest and most challenging problems, and to play a major role
in advancing large-scale computational science and computing
and networking technology.
This section of the Annual Report presents some of the scientific
advances achieved with NERSC’s support during the past
year, from the demanding science-of-scale projects, to research
affiliated with the Scientific Discovery through Advanced
Computing (SciDAC) program, to a representative selection
of research funded by DOE SC’s five offices—Basic
Energy Sciences, Biological and Environmental Research, Fusion
Energy Sciences, High Energy and Nuclear Physics, and Advanced
Scientific Computing Research. This year, rather than giving
overviews of entire projects as we have in the past, we focus
in most cases on publications whose results demonstrate the
contributions of computation to the advancement of science.
Investigators listed include the NERSC and SciDAC project
leaders. |
