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. Berkeley Lab thanks the program managers
with direct responsibility for the NERSC program
and the MICS research projects described in this
