Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research

 

The primary mission of the Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) program is to discover, develop, and deploy the computational and networking tools that enable researchers in the scientific disciplines to analyze, model, simulate, and predict complex phenomena important to the Department of Energy. To accomplish this mission, the program fosters and supports fundamental research in advanced scientific computing—applied mathematics, computer science, and networking—and operates supercomputer, networking, and related facilities. In fulfilling this primary mission, the ASCR program supports the Office of Science Strategic Plan’s goal of providing extraordinary tools for extraordinary science as well as building the foundation for the research in support of the other goals of the strategic plan. In the course of accomplishing this mission, the research programs of ASCR have played a critical role in the evolution of high performance computing and networks.
