Organization

The Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) is a DOE Office of Science high-performance computing user facility at Argonne National Laboratory. Researchers access leadership-class systems through allocation programs for large-scale simulation, data analysis, and AI/ML workloads.

Access status

Relationship to DePaul

DePaul connects to ALCF as an external compute partner in sponsored research workflows that also use on-campus HPCC resources (CDM-014). Physics grant narratives describe analysis pipelines that may extend to ALCF for large-scale processing alongside DePaul’s local GPU cluster—ALCF is not a DePaul-owned system.

Known collaborations & connections

  • Referenced in CSH physics/beamline instrumentation grant workflows alongside APS (EXT-003) and DePaul HPCC (CSH-005, CSH-007).
  • Complements on-campus CDM-014 HPCC for closed-loop analysis, model fitting, and ML refinement described in grant facilities text.
