This is the sixth self-assessment of the systems and services provided by the U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center, describing many of the efforts of the NERSC staff to support advanced computing for scientific discovery. The report is organized along the 10 goals set by our staff and outlines how we are working to meet those goals. Our staff applies experience and expertise to provide world-class systems and unparalleled services for NERSC users. At the same time, members of our organization are leading contributors to advancing the field of high-performance computing through conference presentations, published papers, collaborations with scientific researchers and through regular meetings with members of similar institutions. In the fast-moving realm of high-performance computing, adopting the latest technology while reliably delivering critical resources can be a challenge, but we believe that this self-assessment demonstrates that NERSC continues to excel on both counts.
