Architectures Alternatives Laboratory Directed Research and Development


The Architectures LDRD group focuses on evaluating and profiling key NERSC codes and their performance on current and future supercomputing architectures. In addition to porting codes to these systems, the Architectures LDRD uses analytic models and simulations to predict how future HPC architectures will perform, and to determine how best to optimize NERSC codes on specific platforms.
