The SUPER project is a broadly-based SciDAC institute with expertise in compilers and other system tools, performance engineering, energy management, and resilience. The goal of the project is to ensure that DOE’s computational scientists can successfully exploit the emerging generation of high performance computing (HPC) systems. This goal will be met by providing application scientists with strategies and tools to productively maximize performance, conserve energy, and attain resilience.
