DOE2000 Strategies

Six strategies will allow us to meet the goals of the DOE2000 program:

+ Build a National Collaboratory

  • What is a national collaboratory?

    It is the integration of unique or expensive DOE research facilities on the Internet for remote collaboration, experimentation, production, or measurement.

  • How will such a collaboratory benefit researchers?

    It will provide collaborative tools for videoconferencing, shared data-viewing, and collaborative analysis. It will also enable simplified access to and aggregation of DOE high-performance computing resources.

    • + Build an ACTS toolkit

  • What is ACTS?

    The Advanced Computational Testing and Simulation (ACTS) Toolkit is a project to integrate and develop software tools in support -performance computing applications that simulate scientific phenomena in complex systems.

  • What tools will ACTS develop?

    The toolkit will include capabilities for representing complex geometries, solving diverse numerical problems, enhancing application development efficiency, supporting multilanguage program development, tuning execution performance, and dynamically observing and steering applications in execution.

    • + Provide an authentication and security infrastructure

    + Foster partnerships

  • How is U.S. industry participating?

    DOE2000 programs will work with industry to extend or develop commercial tools and technology

    • + Use off-the-shelf solutions whenever possible

    + Conduct R&D when necessary to meet objectives
