Science & Technology

Technical Reports

NERSC technical reports and publications and publications based on results obtained using NERSC resources.

SciDAC at NERSC

The Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) program was created to bring together many of the nation's top researchers to develop new computational methods for tackling some of the most challenging scientific problems.

SciDAC Outreach Center

The SciDAC Outreach Center is the central hub for SciDAC stakeholders to contribute to or benefit from resources within SciDAC. Education and outreach through tutorials and conferences are provided alongside services for software development, testing, and dissemination.

NERSC Internal Projects

Effective System Performance Test (ESP)

NERSC has proposed a benchmark test that measures Effective System Performance (ESP) in a real-world operational environment.

Sustained System Performance Test (SSP)

This benchmark is designed to answer the question, "What performance will this system deliver to our workload?"

SDSA -- Science Driven System Architecture

This new group investigates issues that contribute to optimal application and computer system performance for current extreme-scale systems and for future architectures using the NERSC workload as a basis.

Data Archives

The Gauge Connection

A repository of gauge configurations for lattice QCD.

Projects Hosted by NERSC

DOE ACTS Collection

The Advanced CompuTational Software (ACTS) collection is a set of tools that make it easier for programmers to write high performance scientific applications for parallel computers.

Cosmic Microwave Background Data Analysis

The analysis of current and anticipated CMB datasets is a significant computational challenge.

PARAllel Total Energy Code (PARATEC)

PARATEC performs ab initio quantum-mechanical total energy calculations using pseudopotentials and a plane wave basis set.

Parallel total Energy (PEtot)

PEtot is a parallel plane wave pseudopotential program for atomistic total energy calculation based on density functional theory. It is designed for large system simulations to be run on parallel computers.

Search π

Search the first four billion binary digits of Pi for a string.

UPC Programming Language

Unified Parallel C (UPC) is an extension of the C programming language designed for high performance computing.

Google Scholar Search

Google Scholar enables you to search specifically for scholarly literature, including peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, preprints, abstracts and technical reports from all broad areas of research.
