'''Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC)''' is a program that leverages high-performance computing (HPC) to address significant scientific challenges by integrating advanced computational methods with domain-specific research. By promoting collaborations between computational scientists and researchers from various scientific fields, SciDAC accelerates scientific discovery in areas crucial to DOE's missions, including energy, climate, and materials science.{{cite web |url=https://www.scidac.gov |title=Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing |accessdate=January 30, 2025}} {{Official URL (simple)|url=https://www.scidac.gov}} ==Goals== * Enhance scientific understanding through computational modeling and simulation.{{cite web |url=https://www.scidac.gov |title=Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing |accessdate=January 30, 2025}} * Develop and apply new computational tools and methodologies for scientific research. * Support DOE's research objectives by providing computational solutions to complex problems. ==Organization== SciDAC is managed by the Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) within the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science. It operates through a series of partnerships and projects involving DOE national labs, universities, and other research institutions. Funding for SciDAC comes from DOE's budget for scientific research, with specific allocations for computing initiatives. The leadership for SciDAC projects varies, but the overarching program is overseen by leadership within ASCR, often with a program manager or coordinator role. ==Partners== * No specific partnerships are listed, but SciDAC involves collaborations with numerous DOE labs, universities, and industry partners. ==History== SciDAC was initiated in 2001 to capitalize on advances in computing technology to solve scientific and engineering problems. Over time, it has expanded its scope, addressing increasingly complex challenges in energy, climate science, biology, and nuclear physics. Key developments include the launch of new partnership initiatives like SciDAC-1, -2, -3, and -4, each focusing on different scientific priorities and computational advancements. ==Funding== While specific initial funding details are not publicly detailed, SciDAC receives funding through DOE's science budget, specifically aimed at computational science. Funding supports research projects, software development, and hardware acquisitions for scientific computing. ==Implementation== Implementation involves: * Funding collaborative projects that integrate computational science with domain-specific research. * Developing software tools and algorithms tailored to scientific applications. * Regular reviews and assessments to ensure projects meet scientific and computational goals. SciDAC is designed to be an ongoing program, adapting to new scientific challenges and computing technologies. ==Related== * [[Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research]] * [[High-Performance Computing]] ==External links== * https://www.scidac.gov * wikipedia:Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing ===Social media=== * No specific social media accounts for SciDAC; follow the Department of Energy for updates. ==References== [[Category:Programs and initiatives]] [[Category:Programs]] [[Category:Department of Energy]]
