About USRC

The Ultrascale Systems Research Center (USRC), is a collaboration between the NMC and LANL to engage universities and industry nationally in support of exascale research. DOE through the Office of Science ASCR program and the NNSA ASC program is working towards a national Exascale Computing program. This program has as a target to build an Exascale Computing Platform and Environment between 2018 and 2020.

In its initial phase USRC will include the following research topics as they relate to Exascale:

• OS/systems/network software stacks
• Scalable and Reliable Runtimes and Middleware
• IO/Storage
• Data Intensive (DISC)
• Cyber-Security

There are many unsolved problems standing in the way of achieving an exascale computing level, some of which are scaling systems software and applications to millions of nodes and billion way parallelism, programming nodes with 10,000 processing elements, reliability at these cales, and I/O and storage at these scales.

In order to make Exascale computing a reality, in depth collaboration with top universities, top industry partners, and national research labs will be necessary.

These interactions will be in-person, where collaborators come to the USRC for months, up to years, for intense cooperative research.  USRC at New Mexico Consortium will establish collaborations with a combination of University professors, students (UGS, GRA, PostDoc), and industry visitors.
