Description

Envision a future where scientific progress accelerates at an unprecedented rate, condensing the time required for new discoveries from years to days or even hours. Artificial intelligence has already shown promise in expediting breakthroughs in fields like astronomy, genomics, and materials science, but these advancements have been isolated, driven by separate research groups working independently. The Department of Energy (DOE) aims to revolutionize the scientific process through the American Science Cloud (AmSC) project, as mandated by the OBBB Act. AmSC is an AI-focused, federated, and science-optimized cloud infrastructure designed to integrate data, models, and high-performance computing resources across DOE's leading facilities. This unified platform will accelerate mission delivery, enable AI to run where data is generated, and allow workflows to transition seamlessly, ultimately optimizing performance, accountability, and cost. The AmSC project is a key component of the broader Genesis Mission, which seeks to double the productivity and impact of research and development in the United States within a decade. The outcomes of the AmSC will drive requirements and designs of future generations of DOE’s High Performance Computing (i.e., ALCF, OLCF, NERSC), High Performance Networking (i.e., ESnet), and High Performance Data Facilities (i.e,, HPDF).
This presentation will explore the vision, architecture, and scope of the American Science Cloud in driving AI-driven science and innovation, and provide an insight into the Genesis Mission.

What will the TNC audience take away from your talk?

This presentation highlights the need for R&E infrastructure to evolve in response to changing scientific methodologies. While accessible to a broad audience, its primary focus is on informing infrastructure architects and builders.
