NERSC Director Sudip Dosanjh kicks off NERSC's 50th anniversary year at SC23.
The National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) turns 50 in 2024, and celebrations are already underway! Founded in 1974 at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and relocated to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in 1996, NERSC has become one of the most scientifically productive supercomputing facilities in the world, supporting six Nobel Prize-winning projects.
NERSC director Sudip Dosanjh kicked off NERSC’s 50th anniversary at the SC23 conference in Denver this month, celebrating five decades of scientific achievement and setting the stage for the next half-century with a featured talk and a new video highlighting the center’s many contributions to scientific research.
Celebrations for NERSC’s 50th anniversary year will continue throughout 2024, culminating with the NERSC User Group Annual Meeting to be held September 17–19 in Berkeley.
About NERSC and Berkeley Lab
The National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) is the mission computing facility for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science, the nation’s single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences.
Located at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), NERSC serves 11,000 scientists at national laboratories and universities researching a wide range of problems in climate, fusion energy, materials sciences, physics, chemistry, computational biology, and other disciplines. An average of 2,000 peer-reviewed science results a year rely on NERSC resources and expertise, which has also supported the work of seven Nobel Prize-winning scientists and teams.
NERSC is a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science User Facility.
