==Goals== | |||
* Enable scientific breakthroughs through high-performance computing.{{cite web |url=https://www.nersc.gov |title=National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center |accessdate=January 30, 2025}} | |||
* Support DOE's mission in energy, environment, and basic science research. | |||
* Provide scalable, efficient computing and data services to the research community. | |||
==Organization== | |||
NERSC is managed by the Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) within the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science. It is located at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), where it operates under the leadership of a Director. Funding comes from DOE's science budget, specifically allocated for scientific computing. | |||
The leader of the program holds the title/position of **Director of NERSC**. | |||
==Partners== | |||
* No specific partnerships are listed, but NERSC collaborates with researchers from universities, national labs, and industry worldwide. | |||
==History== | |||
NERSC was established in 1974 to support computational research at DOE's national laboratories. Over the years, it has evolved from providing time on early supercomputers to managing some of the world's most advanced computing systems. Key historical developments include the transition to leadership-class systems like the Cray XE6 Hopper, the Cori system, and the current Perlmutter supercomputer, each representing a significant leap in computing power and efficiency. | |||
==Funding== | |||
Specific initial funding details are not publicly specified, but NERSC's operations are funded through DOE's annual appropriations for scientific computing research. The budget supports both the maintenance of existing systems and the procurement of new, cutting-edge hardware. | |||
==Implementation== | |||
Implementation involves: | |||
* Operating and maintaining supercomputing resources for scientific use. | |||
* Developing and providing data management and analysis tools. | |||
* Offering user support and training to maximize the use of computing resources. | |||
NERSC is designed to operate indefinitely, continuously upgrading its capabilities to meet the growing demands of scientific computing. | |||
