To help researchers make the most of Summit from day one, the Center for Accelerated Application Readiness brings application developers together with experts from the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility and hardware makers IBM and NVIDIA. Their work will identify the best development strategies for Summit and facilitate early achievements on the system.
CAAR will focus on 13 projects encompassing a wide range of scientific disciplines and computational approaches. They include
- A climate code to couple atmospheric, land, ocean and ice models, focusing on land-ice interactions along the coasts of Greenland and Antarctica.
- Chemistry codes to promote safer handling of nuclear material, improve analysis of large molecular systems and analyze molecules that protect the cells in your body.
- Astrophysics codes to advance our understanding of supernovas and cosmological structure.
- Fusion codes for understanding the conditions needed to run a fusion reactor and the complicated phenomena found at a fusion plasma’s edge.
- A biology code to increase our understanding of communication between brain cells.
- A nuclear physics code that will enhance our understanding of nuclear decay and nuclear energy.
- A materials code that may help in the development of high-temperature superconductors.
- A combustion code that will enable realistic, high-fidelity simulations that identically match engine conditions.
- A seismology code that will create a high-fidelity picture of the Earth’s interior.
