• Exascale and Beyond Escalating computing power has enabled science problems inconceivable a few years ago. Continuing this growth requires new devices, architecture and algorithms, software and computing facility operations.
• Quantum Information Sciences Researchers at Berkeley Lab are exploring a drastically different kind of computing architecture based on quantum mechanics to solve some of science’s hardest problems.
• Data-Driven Science The “superfacility” is our vision to help researchers turn the rising tide of experimental and observational data into science by coupling instruments to advanced computing through powerful networks and research expertise.
• Scientific Complexity To answer, and anticipate, increasingly sophisticated science questions, researchers need advanced math models and methods, new algorithms and better ways to use computing and networking.
