Participating Labs

Argonne National Laboratory is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) multidisciplinary research laboratory with a pioneering history in high-performance computing. Home to a renowned computing research program, the laboratory continues to develop AI and supercomputing technologies, tools, and techniques to enable breakthroughs in science and engineering. As a key player in the nation’s efforts to deliver exascale computing capabilities, Argonne is also advancing scientific frontiers through a convergence of domain science, simulation, data analysis, AI, and machine learning methods. Nowhere is this convergence more evident than the transformative science that will be enabled over the coming decade by the combination of Aurora, one of the nation’s first exascale supercomputers, and the upgrade to Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source, which will provide X-rays 500 times brighter than what the APS currently delivers.

Idaho National Laboratory (INL) works in DOE’s strategic goal areas of energy, national security, science and environment. It is the nation’s leading center for nuclear energy research and development, demonstration and deployment and is engaged in the mission of ensuring the nation’s energy security with safe, competitive and sustainable energy systems and unique national and homeland security capabilities. INL’s three supercomputers support a wide range of modeling and simulation research activities, including performance of materials in harsh environments (such as the effects of irradiation and high temperatures), performance of existing light water and advanced nuclear reactors, and multiscale multiphysics analysis of nuclear fuel performance.

Jefferson Lab provides scientists worldwide the lab’s unique particle accelerator, known as the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF), to probe the most basic building blocks of matter by conducting research at the frontiers of nuclear physics (NP) and related disciplines.

The majority of high performance computing activities in Jefferson Lab focus on large scale and numerical intensive Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (LQCD) calculations, modeling and simulation of particle accelerators and detectors, and data analysis of experimental data.

Founded in 1931 on the belief that the biggest scientific challenges are best addressed by teams, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and its scientists have been recognized with 14 Nobel Prizes. Today, Berkeley Lab researchers develop sustainable energy and environmental solutions, create useful new materials, advance the frontiers of computing, and probe the mysteries of life, matter, and the universe. Scientists from around the world rely on the Lab’s facilities for their own discovery science. Berkeley Lab is a multiprogram national laboratory, managed by the University of California for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science.

For nearly 70 years, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has applied science and technology to make the world a safer place. Livermore is the “new ideas” laboratory, and we continue to aspire to intellectual leadership, originality, and audacity–especially in the area of high performance computing. LLNL is leveraging the accelerating pace of work in artificial intelligence and data science for national security challenges such as nuclear security, countering the spread of weapons of mass destruction and protecting critical infrastructure, as well as for fusion energy research and precision medicine for cancer, traumatic brain injury and COVID-19.

As the senior laboratory in the DOE system, Los Alamos National Laboratory executes work in all of DOE’s missions: national security, science, energy, and environmental management. Our contributions are part of what makes DOE a science, technology, and engineering powerhouse for the nation. In addition, LANL performs work for the Department of Defense (DoD), Intelligence Community (IC), and Department of Homeland Security (DHS), among others. As a result, this strategy reflects U.S. priorities spanning nuclear security, intelligence, defense, emergency response, nonproliferation, counterterrorism, energy security, emerging threats, and environmental management.

The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratory that produces technological solutions to America’s energy challenges. For more than 100 years, the Laboratory has advanced technology to provide clean, reliable, and affordable energy to the American people.

Supercomputing provides the foundation of NETL’s research efforts on behalf of DOE, and NETL maintains supercomputing capabilities to effectively support its research to meet DOE’s Fossil Energy goals. Supercomputing allows NETL researchers to simulate phenomena that are difficult or impossible to otherwise measure and observe.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory is the largest US Department of Energy science and energy laboratory, conducting basic and applied research to deliver transformative solutions to compelling problems in energy and security. ORNL’s diverse capabilities span a broad range of scientific and engineering disciplines, enabling the Laboratory to explore fundamental science challenges and to carry out the research needed to accelerate the delivery of solutions to the marketplace. ORNL accelerates scientific discovery through modeling and simulation on powerful supercomputers, advances data-intensive science, and sustains US leadership in high-performance computing. Oak Ridge is home to the IBM AC922 Summit and HPC Cray EX Frontier supercomputers.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory draws on signature capabilities in chemistry, Earth sciences, and data analytics to advance scientific discovery and create solutions to the nation’s toughest challenges in energy resiliency and national security. Founded in 1965, PNNL is operated by Battelle for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science.

PNNL provides science, technologies, and leadership for creating and enabling new computational capabilities to solve challenges using extreme-scale simulation, data analytics, and machine learning. We deliver the computer science, mathematics, computer architecture, and algorithmic advances that enable integration of extreme-scale modeling and simulation with knowledge discovery and model inference from petabytes of data.
