Nine projects chosen to prepare day-one science on Discovery

Oak Ridge National Laboratory/Discovery

Oak Ridge picked nine science codes, spanning astrophysics, molecular biology, quantum chemistry and aerospace engineering, to tune for Discovery ahead of its 2028 arrival. The teams work with a joint ORNL, HPE and AMD centre of excellence so their programs run three to five times faster than on Frontier.

• Nine projects selected through the Center for Accelerated Application Readiness (CAAR).
• Target: 3-5x the speed each code reaches on Frontier.
• Matt Sieger is the Discovery project director; Reuben Budiardja leads CAAR programming.
