The development of innovative, cutting-edge research computing is at the center of many of the research activities of the Nuclear Science Division (NSD) and is a critical element of the NSD value proposition to its stakeholders, from large scale international collaborations to the stakeholders within the Department of Energy and beyond. NSD programs’ engagement in broadly understood advanced computing is diverse regarding the scale of computational needs, hardware type used, and software needs. Examples of computational tasks within NSD range from FPGA computing, a standard single-core CPU/GPUs tasks, to continuously running computational campaigns needing hundreds of thousands of CPU (or GPU) hours to satisfy mission needs.
The Advanced Research Computing (ARC) Working Group is established as a standing Working Group of the Nuclear Science Division (NSD) to help ensure that advanced research computing remains a driver of innovation within the NSD and that such activities are carried out in support of the short- and long-term strategic priorities of the NSD.
