Description

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF) has selected the next set of partnership projects into its Center for Accelerated Application Readiness (CAAR) program, a collaborative effort of application development teams and staff from the OLCF Scientific Computing group to prepare for Summit, the OLCF’s next leadership-class computing system for open science.

Congratulations to Dr. David Bader of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory on being chosen for the climate simulation code ACME. In addition to resources at the OLCF, including Titan and early software development systems for Summit, the CAAR teams will have access to computational resources at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) and the National Energy Research Supercomputing Center (NERSC) to enable architecture and performance portability across different computing architectures.

These projects were chosen based on a computational and scientific review conducted by the OLCF in consultation with the ALCF, NERSC, IBM Corp., and NVIDIA Corp. The application teams represent a broad range of computational algorithms and programming approaches in a diverse range of scientific disciplines including astrophysics, biophysics, chemistry, climate modeling, combustion engineering, materials science, nuclear physics, plasma physics, and seismology.
