HPDF Partnership Builds a Vision for the AI Era

Leading-edge science demands integration, and the U.S. Department of Energy’s science programs increasingly require advanced computation, data solutions, and networking. 

The High Performance Data Facility, a first-of-its-kind project, is envisioned as a state-of-the-art resource for data science and research. 

From coast to coast, Jefferson Lab in Virginia and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California will provide seamless services that enable scientific advancement through an integrated model. As a distributed facility across multiple sites, HPDF will achieve higher availability and reliability than a single site could. Additionally, the mix of resources at any site can vary to match specific local needs. 

As a key component of the DOE’s American Science Cloud and Genesis Mission, HPDF will dramatically increase the capacity and flexibility of the nation’s research computing network. HPDF is envisioned as the long-term home for Genesis data services — integrating data sources, repositories, and processing into a multi-facility AI powerhouse.
