Computational Research DivisionThe Computational Research Division (CRD) creates computational tools and techniques that enable scientific breakthroughs, by conducting applied research and development in computer science, computational science, and applied mathematics. CRD consists of four departments: The Biological Data Management and Technology Center (BDMTC) serves as a source of expertise in and provides support for data management and bioinformatics tool development projects at the Joint Genome Institute (JGI), Life Sciences and Physical Biosciences Divisions at LBNL, Biomedical Centers at UCSF, and other similar organizations in the Bay Area. The Center enables collaborating organizations to share experience, expertise, technology, and results across projects, employing industry practices in developing data management systems and bioinformatics tools, while maintaining academic high standards for the underlying data generation, interpretation, and analysis methods and algorithms. The Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) is a high-speed network serving thousands of Department of Energy scientists and collaborators worldwide. More information about ESnet is available below. The High Performance Computing Research Department conducts research and development in mathematical modeling, algorithmic design, software implementation, and system architectures, and evaluates new and promising technologies. They collaborate directly with scientists, in fields ranging from materials sciences to climate modeling to astrophysics, to solve computational and data management problems. They also create visualizations to help scientists gain new physical insights and make the data more comprehensible. The Applied Numerical Algorithms group develops advanced numerical algorithms and software for partial differential equations. The Center for Computational Sciences and Engineering (CCSE) develops and applies advanced computational methodologies to solve large-scale scientific and engineering problems. The Future Technologies Group performs research and development on infrastructure for scientific computing. The Mathematics Group centers their research on the development of numerical and analytical methods and their application to challenging, difficult problems in physics and engineering. The Scientific Computing Group works on diverse scientific applications as well as generic problems in scientific computing.The Scientific Data Management Group develops tools for efficient access and storage management of massive scientific data sets. The Visualization Group collaborates with scientists by applying and developing state-of-the-art practices in scientific visualization.National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC)The National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) is the flagship scientific computing facility for the Office of Science in the U.S. Department of Energy. As one of the largest facilities in the world devoted to providing computational resources and expertise for basic scientific research, NERSC is a world leader in accelerating scientific discovery through computation. NERSC is located at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California. The more than 3,000 computational scientists who use NERSC perform basic scientific research across a wide range of disciplines. These disciplines include climate modeling, research into new materials, simulations of the early universe, analysis of data from high energy physics experiments, investigations of protein structure, and a host of other scientific endeavors. A survey of scientific research performed at NERSC can be found in the NERSC Annual Reports. NERSC is known as one of the best-run scientific computing facilities in the world. While NERSC provides some of the largest computing and storage systems available anywhere, what distinguishes NERSC is its success in creating an environment that makes these resources effective for scientific research. NERSC systems are reliable and secure, and provide a state-of-the-art scientific development environment with the tools needed by the diverse community of NERSC users. NERSC provides intellectual services that allow computational scientists to be more effective -- consultants who are experts in computational science and performance tuning, visualization assistance, training, customized support, and other services. Energy Sciences Network - ESnetESnet is a high-speed network serving thousands of Department of Energy scientists and collaborators worldwide. A pioneer in providing high-bandwidth, reliable connections, ESnet enables researchers at national laboratories, universities and other institutions to communicate with each other using the collaborative capabilities needed to address some of the world's most important scientific challenges. Managed and operated by the ESnet staff at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, ESnet provides direct connections to all major DOE sites (site list) with high performance speeds, as well as fast interconnections to more than 100 other networks. Funded principally by DOE's Office of Science, ESnet services allow scientists to make effective use of unique DOE research facilities and computing resources, independent of time and geographic location. Information Technology (IT)The Information Technology (IT) Division supports Berkeley Lab's scientific mission by developing and maintaining the Lab's computing, information, and communications infrastructure. This infrastructure includes networking and telecommunications; desktop computing support; information systems for management, scientific clusters, technical information and computer security. Services include: Windows and MAC, Linux Support, Software Licenses, Software Downloads, Backups, Computer Training Room Rental. –Server and Cluster Support provide installation and maintenance of the Lab’s extensive server and cluster networks. Unix Cluster: The UNIX Systems Support Group provides ongoing and time-and-materials support for a variety of UNIX desktop and server operating systems. The group. The group currently supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.x and 4.x; Centos Linux 3.x and 4.x; cAos Linux 2.x; Sun Solaris 8, 9, and 10; and Network Appliance DataOntap.
