HPC Requirements Workshops

NERSC's mission is to accelerate the pace of scientific discovery in the DOE Office of Science community by providing high-performance computing, information, data, and communications services. NERSC is the principal provider of high performance computing services supporting research sponsored by the DOE Office of Science Programs Offices.

In support of its mission and to maintain its reputation as one of the best run scientific computing centers in the world, NERSC is gathering requirements from its user community as well as other experts in the high performance computing community. These requirements are being collected via a series of production computing requirements workshops with each of the six DOE Office of Science program offices. The workshops elicit information from program managers and key scientists about the current and future computational requirements for each science area managed by the particular program office.
