Application
Site Application experts ensure that the HPC simulator and Platform toolsets incorporate the capabilities needed to support DOE-EM’s remediation and closure decisions.
More about the ASCEM Application Thrust AreaThrust Areas
ASCEM is an integrated simulation framework developed along three Thrust Areas:
- Platform and Integrated Toolsets: Provides the user with toolsets for model development and analysis, visualization, and management of data and simulation results.
- Multi-Process HPC Simulator: Provides the user with state-of-the-art flexible and extensible simulation capabilities for a range of modern computer architectures.
- Site Application: Provides the ASCEM developers and users with the expertise needed to address DOE-EM’s environmental cleanup challenges.
Affiliates
ASCEM is developed by a consortium of DOE National Laboratories using advanced computing and software development concepts, drawing upon the latest knowledge in environmental sciences, and interacting with users and stakeholders.
