Current Awards
Congratulations to our 2022-2023 Awardees.
2022-2023 ALCC Factsheets
ALCC awards support scientists from industry, academia and national laboratories advancing scientific and technological research in DOE mission areas including: Biophysics, Energy Efficiency in Aerospace and Combustion technologies, Fusion Energy, Geosciences, High Energy Physics, Materials Sciences, Nuclear Engineering, and Nuclear Physics.
For the 2022-2023 ALCC campaign, 87 proposals were submitted, requesting an aggregate total 42,615,000 of node-hours, more than two times the 16,300,000 node-hours originally available. Because of the high quality of applications and the current pace of upgrades to DOE’s computing facilities, the available hours for ALCC were increased to 18,000,000 node-hours.
