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.

The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) develops science and technology solutions for the world by bringing together multidisciplinary teams of researchers, and creating world-class tools for scientific discovery. It was founded in 1931 by UC Berkeley physicist and Nobel Prize laureate Ernest Orlando Lawrence and is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy through its 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.

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.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) is a collaborative national center for fusion energy research. The Laboratory advances the coupled fields of fusion energy and plasma physics research, and, with collaborators, is developing the scientific understanding and key innovations needed to realize fusion as an energy source for the world. An associated mission is providing the highest quality of scientific education.
