The Director shall carry out a research, development, and demonstration program to advance computational and networking capabilities to analyze, model, simulate, and predict complex phenomena relevant to the development of new energy technologies and the competitiveness of the United States. Section 1 of the Department of Energy High-End Computing Revitalization Act of 2004 ( 15 U.S.C. 5501 note; Public Law 108–423 ) is amended by striking Department of Energy High-End Computing Revitalization Act of 2004 and inserting American Super Computing Leadership Act .
Section 976(a)(1) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 ( 42 U.S.C. 16316(1) ) is amended by striking Department of Energy High-End Computing Revitalization Act of 2004 and inserting American Super Computing Leadership Act . Section 2 of the American Super Computing Leadership Act ( 15 U.S.C. 5541 ), as renamed by paragraph (1), is amended— by redesignating paragraphs
(2)through
(5)as paragraphs
(3)through (6), respectively; by striking paragraph
(1)and inserting the following: The term Department means the Department of Energy. The term exascale computing means computing through the use of a computing machine that performs near or above 10 to the 18th power operations per second. ; and in paragraph
(6)(as redesignated by subparagraph (A)), by striking , acting through the Director of the Office of Science of the Department of Energy . Section 3 of the American Super Computing Leadership Act ( 15 U.S.C. 5542 ), as renamed by paragraph (1), is amended— in subsection (a)(1), by striking program and inserting coordinated program across the Department ; in subsection (b)(2), by striking , which may and all that follows through multithreading architectures ; and by striking subsection
(d)and inserting the following: The Secretary shall conduct a research program (referred to in this subsection as the Program ) for exascale computing, including the development of two or more exascale computing machine architectures, to promote the missions of the Department. In carrying out the Program, the Secretary shall— establish a National Laboratory partnership for industry partners and institutions of higher education for codesign of exascale hardware, technology, software, and applications across all applicable organizations of the Department; acquire multiple exascale computing systems at the existing Departmental facilities that represent at least two distinct technology options developed under clause (i); develop such advancements in hardware and software technology as are required to fully realize the potential of an exascale production system in addressing Department target applications and solving scientific problems involving predictive modeling and simulation, large scale data analytics and management, and artificial intelligence; explore the use of exascale computing technologies to advance a broad range of science and engineering; and provide, as appropriate, on a competitive, merit-reviewed basis, access for researchers in industries in the United States, institutions of higher education, National Laboratories, and other Federal agencies to the exascale computing systems developed pursuant to clause (i). The Secretary shall select the partnerships with the computing facilities of the Department under subparagraph
(A)through a competitive, peer-review process. The Secretary shall— carry out the Program through an integration of applications, computer science, applied mathematics, and computer hardware architecture using the partnerships established pursuant to paragraph
(2)to ensure that, to the maximum extent practicable, two or more exascale computing machine architectures are capable of solving Department target applications and broader scientific problems, including predictive modeling and simulation, large scale data analytics and management, and artificial intelligence; and conduct outreach programs to increase the readiness for the use of such platforms by domestic industries, including manufacturers. The Secretary shall submit to Congress a report describing how the integration under subparagraph
(A)is furthering application science data and computational workloads across application interests, including national security, material science, physical science, cybersecurity, biological science, the Materials Genome and BRAIN Initiatives of the President, advanced manufacturing, and the national electric grid. The roles and responsibilities of National Laboratories and industry, including the definition of the roles and responsibilities within the Department to ensure an integrated program across the Department. The exascale architectures developed pursuant to partnerships established pursuant to paragraph
(2)shall be reviewed through a project review process. Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this subsection, the Secretary shall submit to Congress a report on— the results of the review conducted under subparagraph (A); and the coordination and management of the Program to ensure an integrated research program across the Department. At the time of the budget submission of the Department for each fiscal year, the Secretary, in consultation with the members of the partnerships established pursuant to paragraph (2), shall submit to Congress a report that describes funding for the Program as a whole by functional element of the Department and critical milestones. . The Director shall support research in high-performance computing and networking relevant to energy applications, including modeling, simulation, machine learning, and advanced data analytics for basic and applied energy research programs carried out by the Secretary. The Director shall carry out activities to develop, test, and support— mathematics, models, statistics, and algorithms for complex systems and programming environments; and tools, languages, and operations for high-end computing systems (as defined in section 2 of the American Super Computing Leadership Act ( 15 U.S.C. 5541 ), as renamed by this section). The Director shall maintain a balanced portfolio within the advanced scientific computing research and development program established under section 976 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 ( 42 U.S.C. 16316 ) that supports robust investment in applied mathematical, computational, and computer sciences research while accommodating necessary investments in high-performance computing hardware and facilities. The Director of the Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research shall support the development of a computational science workforce through a program that— facilitates collaboration between university students and researchers at the National Laboratories; and endeavors to advance science in areas relevant to the mission of the Department through the application of computational science.
