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.
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.
- Global Unified Parallel File System (GUPFS)
-
The Global Unified Parallel File System (GUPFS) Project
undertook studies
to provide a scalable, high-performance, high-bandwidth, shared-disk file system.
This project resulted in the deployment of the
NERSC Global Filesystem (NGF).
- Probe: A Testbed for Storage Technology
-
Probe (no longer active) was a storage technology research and development
project which provided a
wide-area distributed-storage technology testbed for storage and network system
research.
- Blue Planet -- Science Driven Computer Architecture
-
Following the deployment of the Earth Simulator in Japan, Lawrence Berkeley and
Argonne national laboratories, in close collaboration with IBM, responded with a
proposal to create science-driven computer architecture.

Data Archives
- Climate Model Data Archives
- Output from DOE supported climate models; freely available to the climate
modeling community.
- 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.
- Performance Evaluation
Research Center
-
The goal of this SciDAC Center is to develop a science for
understanding performance of scientific applications on high-end computer systems,
and develop engineering strategies for improving performance on these systems.
- 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.
