DOE2000 is a new initiative to fundamentally change the way scientists work together and how they address the major challenges of scientific computation. To accomplish this change, DOE2000 will develop and explore new computational tools and libraries that advance the concept of "national collaboratories" and Advanced Computational Testing and Simulation (ACTS).
Advanced Computational Testing and Simulation (ACTS) -- a program to
provide an integrated set of software tools, algorithms, and environments
that accelerate the adoption and use of advanced computing by DOE programs
for mission-critical problems.
The toolkit will include capabilities for
representing complex geometries, solving diverse numerical equations,
simplifying multi-language parallel execution, evaluating and enhancing
code performance, and dynamically steering calculations during execution.
National Collaboratories
-- a research and development program to explore and develop laboratories without walls, which unite expertise, instruments, and computers, enabling scientists to carry out cooperative research independent of geography
Collaboratory
Pilot Projects
-- early implementations of virtual laboratories that give scientists the technology to collectively observe and attack problems using combinations of ideas, methodologies, and
instrumentation that do not exist at any single location
The DOE2000 initiative has developed over the course of several years, from a visionary white paper to a full-blown program.
