Research
For FY06, LACSI activities will cover a broad spectrum of areas of
research, including strategies for measuring, analyzing, and improving
application and system performance; components and component
integration systems; computer systems and networking; and computational
science. These research areas are covered in four subsequent sections
of the statement of work. Every section includes two subsections, each
describing a coherent, coordinated research activity, a set of tasks to
be carried out, and a discussion of the relevance of the proposed work
to the Weapons Program.
Following the four research sections, there is an additional section that covers management and community interaction. The management section includes a detailed discussion of the new management and planning cycle for LACSI. Community interactions include the enormously successful LACSI Annual Symposium and several other outreach programs carried out by the Institute.
Taken together, the proposed LACSI activities represent a broad and deep collection of projects that can have an enormous positive impact on high performance computing and communications within the DOE Weapons Program.
