The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science exhibit booth at a conference features green and white archways, informational displays, award plaques, and interactive screens, with attendees seated at the front desk and others walking through the exhibit area.

Join us in St. Louis, Missouri, for SC25—the year’s premier event in high-performance computing, networking, and storage—taking place November 16–21. Throughout the conference, Berkeley Lab researchers will share their expertise in talks, demos, panels, and more. Visit the Department of Energy booth (#3802) for roundtables, videos, and interactive sessions that highlight our groundbreaking collaborations.

Berkeley Lab’s John Shalf has earned one of the highest honors in HPC: the 2025 Seymour Cray Computer Engineering Award, recognizing his pioneering contributions to energy-efficient computing and hardware-software co-design. His leadership has driven progress in key scientific applications and next-generation computing systems. The award will be presented on Tuesday, November 18, at SC25 in St. Louis.

 NERSC Perlmutter

NERSC has played a pivotal role in advancing computational science, contributing to two groundbreaking projects—BerkeleyGW and a digital twin for tsunami early warning—that have been named as finalists for the 2025 ACM Gordon Bell Prize. Presented annually by the Association for Computing Machinery, this award honors exceptional achievements in HPC. Winners will be announced at the SC25 conference on Thursday, November 20.

On November 18 at 1:45 p.m. in the DOE Booth, QUANT-NET Lead P.I. Inder Monga will share how a new two-level framework addresses critical challenges in quantum networking by enabling automated and high-fidelity entanglement operations, synchronized operations in distributed environments, regular and automated calibrations, real-time control, and more.

Catch AMCR’s Zhi (Jackie) Yao and Yingheng Tang at the DOE booth on November 20, at 1 p.m. CST, as they demonstrate “Quantum Chip Hero Run”—a groundbreaking full-chip, time-domain electromagnetic simulation of a superconducting quantum processor run on more than 7,000 NVIDIA GPUs with Perlmutter. This simulation showcases how advanced modeling is helping researchers design and perfect next-generation quantum hardware.

About Computing Sciences at Berkeley Lab

High performance computing plays a critical role in scientific discovery. Researchers increasingly rely on advances in computer science, mathematics, computational science, data science, and large-scale computing and networking to increase our understanding of ourselves, our planet, and our universe. Berkeley Lab's Computing Sciences Area researches, develops, and deploys new foundations, tools, and technologies to meet these needs and to advance research across a broad range of scientific disciplines.
