IRI Final ReportIntegrated Research Infrastructure Architecture Blueprint Activity: Final Report

In 2022, The Office of Science (SC) leadership directed the Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) program to conduct the Integrated Research Infrastructure Architecture Blueprint Activity (IRI ABA) to produce a reference framework to inform a coordinated, SC-wide strategy for IRI. This activity convened the SC science programs and over 150 DOE national laboratory experts from all 28 SC user facilities across 13 national laboratories to consider the technological, policy, and sociological challenges to implementing IRI. Through a series of cross-cutting sprint exercises facilitated by the IRI ABA Leadership Group and peer facilitators, participants produced an IRI Framework based on the IRI Vision (see callout below) comprising IRI Science Patterns spanning DOE science domains, IRI Practice Areas needed for implementation, IRI blueprints that connect Patterns and Practice Areas, and overarching principles for realizing the DOE-wide IRI ecosystem. The resulting IRI framework and blueprints provide the conceptual foundations to move forward with organized, coordinated DOE implementation efforts.

Basic Research Needs in Quantum Computing and Networking Workshop Report

Basic Research Needs in Quantum Computing and Networking

In July 2023, DOE’s Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) program in the Office of Science convened the Workshop on Basic Research Needs in Quantum Computing and Networking. Employing quantum mechanical resources in computing, information processing, and networking opens the door to potential exponential advantages over classical counterparts. However, quantifying and realizing such advantages poses extensive scientific and engineering challenges. Department of Energy (DOE) investments have driven steady progress in addressing such challenges. Recently developed quantum algorithms offer asymptotic exponential advantages in speed or accuracy for fundamental scientific problems. These problems include simulating physical systems, solving systems of linear equations, differential equations, and optimization problems. The following five priority research directions (PRDs) were identified as a result of the workshop: end-to-end software toolchains to program and control quantum systems and networks at scale; efficient algorithms delivering quantum advantages; benchmarking, verification, and simulation methods to assess quantum advantages; resilience through error detection, prevention, protection, mitigation, and correction; and hardware and protocols for next-generation quantum networks.


Foundational Science for Biopreparedness and Response 

This report is based on an SC Roundtable on Foundational Science for Biopreparedness and Response, which was held in March 2022 and included attendees from DOE’s national laboratories, industry, and other governmental agencies.  The roundtable focused on understanding DOE’s unique role in addressing future biological crises, bringing together capabilities in the physical, computational, and biological sciences. Participants identified five priority research opportunities (PROs) and the specialized cross-cutting capabilities needed to support biopreparedness studies at DOE national user facilities. The identified PROs are inherently multidisciplinary, requiring coordination across ASCR, BER, and BES, and defined underlying science and technology advances needed for ensuring the nation’s future preparedness and response to biological crises. 


Toward a Seamless Integration of Computing, Experimental, and Observational Science Facilities: A Blueprint to Accelerate Discovery

The Department of Energy, Office of Science operates world-leading facilities for experimental, observational, and computational science.
