ASCR INCITE Program Allocates Access to DOE Supercomputers
Sixty projects were awarded a total of 1.7 billion hours of computing time on some of the worlds most powerful supercomputers as part of the Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (INCITE) program. The INCITE program, now in its ninth year, is the major means by which the scientific community gains access to these supercomputers. More »
ASCR Leadership Computing Challenge (ALCC) Program in the News
A recent "Digital Manufacturing Report" article highlights the high-risk, big payoffs of the ASCR ALCC program. The ALCC allocates up to 30% of the computational resources at NERSC and the Leadership Computing Facilities at Argonne and Oak Ridge for special situations of interest to the Department's energy mission. Link to the to DMR article to learn more about the program.
Leveraging ASCR Investments in Software Tools to the Broad Computational Community
Barriers to adoption of HPC modeling and simulation by the industrial computational science community can be tackled by getting DOE software in the hands of independent software vendors (ISVs) via SBIR/STTR.
