==History==
==History==
Launched in 2014, the Accelerated Climate Model for Energy was initially aimed at addressing DOE's strategic objectives in climate and energy research. Over time, ACME evolved into the **Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM)**, reflecting its growth and the shift towards using exascale computing resources. Key historical achievements include the development of high-resolution models for different climate components, which have been instrumental in studying the impacts of climate change on energy systems. The transition to E3SM marked an expansion in scope, focusing on utilizing emerging high-performance computing capabilities to enhance model resolution and accuracy.
