Over the years, due to Moore's Law, the ASC program has created several different supercomputers with increasing power, in order to compute the simulations and mathematics.
[citation needed] In celebration of 25 years of ASC accomplishments, the Advanced Simulation and Computing Program has published this report.
[8] The Computational and User Support subdivision is responsible for maintaining and creating the supercomputer software according to NNSA's standards.
[9] The ASCI Path Forward project substantially funded the initial development of the Lustre parallel file system from 2001 to 2004.
They also help software engineers write more precise codes in order to decrease the margin of error when the computations are run.
These codes are then used by the National Nuclear Society Administration, the Stockpile Steward Program, Life Extension Program, and Significant Finding Investigation, in order to decide the next steps that need to be taken in order to secure and lengthen the life of the nuclear stockpile.
