Vertically integrated, scalable supercomputing

Goal

Increase capability while reducing the space and power requirements of future computing systems by changing the nature of computing devices, computer architecture, software, and algorithms.

Strategies

• Address fundamental computing challenges — from device physics to extreme-scale architectures and programming environments — to change both the nature of devices and the impacts of these devices on computer architecture, software, and algorithms
• Explore low-power computer architecture; resilient hardware and software; and runtime support, programming models, and algorithms for hybrid, multicore machines

Enabling technology for computational engineering

Goal

Advance the underlying math and computer science necessary for the routine use of predictive simulation, design optimization, and margin and uncertainty quantifications.

Strategy

Address rigorous predictive modeling by investigating novel numerical methods, parallel algorithms and tool kits, uncertainty quantification, and design optimization. Learn more about how this is being applied on our Advanced Simulation and Computing website.

Foundations of cyber security

Goal

Shore up our nation's cyber defenses and support good decision making by cyber defenders by providing a more fundamental understanding of the cyber environment.
