Computational Partnerships

ASCR Computational Partnerships primarily supports the Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) program, which is a recognized leader for the utilization of high-performance computing for scientific discovery.

Established in 2001, SciDAC facilitates partnerships between ASCR, other DOE program offices, and other federal agencies in strategic areas with a goal to dramatically accelerate progress in scientific computing. This is achieved through strong collaborations between discipline scientists, applied mathematicians, and computer scientists. SciDAC provides the intellectual resources in applied mathematics and computer science, expertise in algorithms and methods, and scientific software tools to advance scientific discovery through modeling and simulation in areas of strategic importance to SC, the DOE, and the Nation.

ASCR Computational Partnerships also supports collaborations to enable large, distributed research teams to share data and develop tools incorporating scientific AI/ML for the real-time analysis of the massive data flows from SC scientific user facilities, as well as the research and development of software to support an integrated research infrastructure and computing environment.
