The Leadership Computing Facility Division operates the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility - the ALCF - as part of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) effort to provide leadership-class computing resources to the scientific community. The mission of the ALCF, established in 2006, is to provide the computational science community with a leading computing capability dedicated to breakthrough science and engineering. The ALCF provides resources that make computationally intensive projects of the largest scale possible. ALCF staff members operate this facility for the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science and also provide in-depth expertise and assistance in using ALCF systems and optimizing their applications. http://www.alcf.anl.gov Argonne National Laboratory Portland, Ore.
