PESO will steward and advance a scientific software ecosystem with stakeholders and partners who engage with the US Department of Energy (DOE) in developing and using advanced high-performance computing.
PESO’s vision is that DOE software investments will have maximum impact by providing a sustainable scientific software ecosystem, consisting of high-quality libraries and tools that deliver the latest high-performance algorithms and capabilities to serve application needs at DOE and beyond.
Partnering with others, PESO will provide critical services and products that transform a broad collection of independently developed products by independent teams into a product portfolio whose total is much more than the sum of its parts. Furthermore, by working with product teams, users, stakeholders, computing facilities, other US agencies, and industry, we will provide a transition of activities from the DOE Exascale Computing Project (ECP) toward the goal of creating a software ecosystem that year over year will deliver high-quality, reliable, and trusted libraries and tools for DOE’s mission-critical applications.
ECP efforts have demonstrated that developing applications built on accelerator-optimized libraries and tools can improve scientific capabilities by two orders of magnitude or more and that a trusted software stack is an essential element. PESO will provide the trusted software stack for applications to realize that 100X improvement—for high-end capabilities and for energy efficiency improvements that can be realized only by leveraging accelerator devices.
