The
primary mission of the Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR)
program, which is carried out by the Mathematical, Information, and
Computational Sciences (MICS) subprogram, is to discover, develop,
and deploy the computational and networking tools that enable researchers
in the scientific disciplines to analyze, model, simulate, and predict
complex phenomena important to the Department of Energy. To accomplish
this mission, the program fosters and supports fundamental research
in advanced scientific computing — applied mathematics, computer
science, and networking — and operates supercomputer, networking,
and related facilities. In fulfilling this primary mission, the ASCR
program supports the Office of Science Strategic Plan’s goal
of providing extraordinary tools for extraordinary science as well
as building the foundation for the research in support of the other
goals of the strategic plan. In the course of accomplishing this mission,
the research programs of ASCR have played a critical role in the evolution
of high performance computing and networks.
As the flagship facility of the ASCR program,
NERSC thanks the program managers with direct responsibility over
the NERSC Division:
