Fast Forward The FastForward program complemented the DesignForward program and focused on co-design efforts between DOE centers and vendors with the goal of improving processor, memory, storage and I/O technologies. Furthermore, these improvements should be aimed at maximizing energy efficiency and concurrency while increasing performance, productivity and reliability. « Previous| Next »
Paving the Way to Exascale
Berkeley Lab has long been at the forefront of preparing for the exascale revolution. Projects like DesignForward and CAL helped pave the way for today's exascale research and breakthroughs.
Design Forward
Design Forward The DesignForward program initiated partnerships between DOE centers and vendors to accelerate the research and development of critical technologies needed for exascale computing. The principal research areas of interest in the DesignForward program were in the general areas of system integration and interconnect technology. « Previous| Next »
NESAP
NESAP, the NERSC Exascale Scientific Applications Program In 2014, NERSC established the NERSC Exascale Scientific Applications Program (NESAP), a collaborative effort designed to give code teams and library and tool developers a unique opportunity to prepare for Cori’s manycore architecture. NERSC selected 20 projects to collaborate with NERSC, Cray and Intel and access early hardware, […]
