Computing Resources
Argonne National Laboratory has access to three main facilities for computing resources; data and networking; and data analytics and visualization.
Joint Laboratory for System Evaluation
The Joint Laboratory for System Evaluation (JLSE) is a collaboration between the CELS computing divisions including Leadership Computing Facility (LCF), Mathematics and Computer Science (MCS), Computational Science (CPS) and Data Science and Learning (DSL) with the aim of evaluating future high-performance computing platforms, developing system software and measuring power/energy. JLSE hosts more than two dozen different cutting-edge hardware platforms, including Intel development GPU cards (code names XeHP and DG1), as well as NVIDIA A100 and RTX8000 cards. The post-Moore architecture lab in MCS, which is part of JLSE, hosts an FPGA testbed.
Argonne Leadership Computing Facility
The Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) is a DOE Office of Science user facility that enables breakthroughs in science and engineering by providing supercomputing and AI resources to the research community. ALCF computing resources—available to researchers from academia, industry, and government agencies—support large-scale computing projects aimed at solving some of the world’s most complex and challenging scientific problems.
Laboratory Computing Resource Center
Argonne also hosts mid-range high performance computing and data capabilities for research efforts across the laboratory in the Laboratory Computing Resource Center (LCRC). Learn more about the available systems here. LCRC resources are available to Argonne researchers and their collaborators through a simple internal proposal process.
