ABSTRACT:

The development of efficient scientific and engineering application codes is an expensive process that often requires specialized support and information about the available computational resources and software tools. The development effort is augmented by the complexity of the phenomena that can be addressed by numerical simulation, along with the increase and evolution of computing resources, from commodity computer clusters through massively parallel computers.

The DOE Advanced Computational Software (ACTS) Collection is a set of DOE-developed software tools, sometimes in collaboration with other funding agencies, that make it easier to write high performance codes for computational sciences applications. The talk will cover categories of problems that the tools solve, functionalities that they provide, availability and portability, and a number of applications that have benefited from their use.
