DOE Special Programs
- SciDAC at NERSC
-
The Scientific
Discovery through Advanced
Computing (SciDAC) program was created to
bring together many of the nation's top researchers to develop new computational
methods for tackling some of the most challenging scientific problems.
- INCITE at NERSC
-
The Innovative
and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment
(INCITE) program provides computational support for a small number of computationally intensive large-scale research projects that make high-impact scientific advances.
- SciDAC Outreach Center
-
The SciDAC Outreach Center
is the central hub for SciDAC stakeholders to contribute to or benefit from resources within SciDAC. Education and outreach through tutorials and conferences are provided alongside services for software development, testing, and dissemination.
NERSC Internal Projects
- Effective System Performance Test (ESP)
-
NERSC has proposed a benchmark test that measures Effective System Performance (ESP) in a real-world operational environment.
- Sustained System Performance Test (SSP)
-
This benchmark is designed to answer the question, "What performance will this system deliver to our workload?"
- SDSA -- Science Driven System Architecture
- This new group investigates issues that contribute to optimal application and computer system performance for current extreme-scale systems and for future architectures using the NERSC workload as a basis.

Data Archives
- The Gauge Connection
- A repository of gauge configurations for lattice QCD.
Projects Hosted by NERSC
- DOE ACTS Collection
-
The
Advanced CompuTational Software (ACTS) collection is a set of tools that
make it easier for programmers to write high performance scientific applications
for parallel computers.
-
Cosmic Microwave Background Data Analysis
-
The analysis of current and anticipated CMB datasets
is a significant computational challenge.
- PARAllel Total Energy Code (PARATEC)
-
PARATEC
performs ab initio quantum-mechanical total energy calculations
using pseudopotentials and a plane wave basis set.
-
Parallel total Energy (PEtot)
-
PEtot is a parallel plane wave pseudopotential program for atomistic total
energy
calculation based on density functional theory. It is designed for large system
simulations to be run on parallel computers.
- Search π
-
Search the first four billion binary digits of Pi for a string.
- UPC Programming Language
-
Unified Parallel
C (UPC) is an extension of the C programming language designed for high performance
computing.
