The National Energy Research Scientific Computing (NERSC) Center is now accepting applications from NERSC projects for the NERSC Science Acceleration Program (NESAP) for Workflows. Chosen teams will work with NERSC for one year to prepare for and better utilize advanced workflow capabilities such as hardware acceleration, reconfigurable storage, advanced scheduling, and integration with edge services, as well as alignment with the Integrated Research Infrastructure (IRI) initiative. Applications will remain open through October 2.
Future machines at NERSC will offer a broad range of capabilities and NERSC is interested in working with all aspects of scientific workflows on the system, including simulation performance, data movement and management, application of machine learning, organization and composition of complex computational tasks, and interaction with external resources beyond the NERSC data center (e.g., edge, cloud, and cross-facility). NERSC will partner with science teams to prepare for and better utilize advanced work capabilities, including hardware acceleration, reconfigurable storage, advanced scheduling, and integration with edge services.
Please note that the current NESAP for Perlmutter projects, except for the recent NESAP for Learning projects, will not be automatically carried over to calendar year 2024. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that those projects submit an application.
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.
