Argonne Leadership Computing Facility

About Argonne Leadership Computing Facility

The Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) provides supercomputing and AI resources to the scientific and engineering community to accelerate the pace of discovery and innovation across a broad range of disciplines. The ALCF is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility at Argonne National Laboratory. ALCF computing systems and expertise—available to researchers from academia, industry, and government agencies—support large-scale computing projects aimed at solving some of the world’s most complex and challenging scientific problems. As a key player in the nation’s efforts to provide the most advanced computing resources for science, the ALCF is helping to chart new directions in scientific computing through a convergence of simulation, data science, and AI methods and capabilities. Supported by DOE's Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) program, the ALCF is one of two DOE Leadership Computing Facilities in the nation dedicated to open science.
