NHR@SW Simulation and Data Labs are virtual, cross-site teams that provide domain-specific HPC expertise for scientific communities. They connect researchers’ application challenges with methods, software, and computing infrastructure across the consortium.

The SDLs support users from their first steps on HPC systems through large-scale workflows. Their activities include maintaining domain software, individual consulting and code and workflow optimization, developing and evaluating algorithms for current and emerging architectures, conducting original research, and offering hands-on training. Through close collaboration with JSC and other NHR centers, they help create a path from Tier-3 to Tier-1 computing.
