Cosmic Microwave Background Data Analysis At NERSC
March 15, 2007
NERSC provides access to world-class high performance computing facilities in support of the simulation and analysis of CMB data through three allocations of cycles and storage known as repositories. One repository is shared by a number of sub-orbital experiments, another is exclusively for the Planck satellite mission, while the third is for mission concept studies for the proposed CMBpol satellite.
About NERSC and Berkeley Lab
The National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) is the primary high-performance computing facility for scientific research sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science. Located at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the NERSC Center serves more than 4,000 scientists at national laboratories and universities researching a wide range of problems in combustion, climate modeling, fusion energy, materials science, physics, chemistry, computational biology, and other disciplines. Berkeley Lab is a U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory located in Berkeley, California. It conducts unclassified scientific research and is managed by the University of California for the U.S. DOE Office of Science.
