The ALCF Director’s Discretionary (DD) program is dedicated to helping researchers prepare for a major allocation award through DOE's INCITE and ALCC programs. DD projects allow users to improve application performance to maximize scientific application efficiency and productivity on the ALCF’s leadership computing platforms. Projects must demonstrate a need for leadership-class resources.
Open to researchers from industry, academia, and government agencies, DD awards are available year-round and are usually between three and six months in duration. The size of the award varies based on the application and its readiness/ability to scale.
