The product is focused research, innovation, and collaboration with other ASC sub-programs, laboratories, and the greater scientific community, to investigate and develop future technologies, algorithms, and computational methods. This research enables advances toward greater predictive capability by focusing on overcoming critical obstacles in integrated codes; e.g. the need for robust efficient linear solvers for hydrodynamics codes. Exploratory efforts include short-term focused research projects, as well as longer-term, more innovative efforts aimed at the large barriers. Activities also include application-specific computational science research, such as development of software architectures that enable application of new and coupled physics, models, and verified algorithms to problems of interest. Research is conducted at the laboratories and through collaborations with academic researchers.
