CASL Institutional Computing Report, Calendar Year 2012
- Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
CASL, the Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light water reactors (or LWRs) is a multi-institutional, $22-25M per year, 5-year project lead by Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This project is one of DOE’s Energy Innovation Hubs and started late in the last quarter of FY10. As part of this joint work with 10 different institutions, senior LANL management agreed to provide 10% of all Institutional Computing resources at Los Alamos to the project for the life of the project. This is part of an in-kind institutional contribution LANL is making to the CASL effort. Similar contributions have been made by all national laboratory partners in CASL (ORNL, LANL, INL, and SNL)1. CASL is a highly visible and extremely valuable project for Los Alamos, with line of sight visibility and attention from the Secretary of Energy and high-impact results delivered to the nuclear energy industry. It is considered to be a model for such large programs with multiple partners, as well as a model for future simulation hubs defined by DOE. At the time of this writing, LANL leads three areas in the project. Thermal Hydraulics Methods (THM, Mark Christon, CCS-2), Materials Optimization and Performance (MPO, Chris Stanek, MST-8), and Validation and Uncertainty Quantification (VUQ, Brian Williams, CCS-6). This report summarizes the use of Institutional Computing (IC) resources by the CASL project, for calendar year 2013.
