The BES SciDAC Partnership portfolio focuses on the development of new algorithms and computational approaches which could dramatically accelerate the discovery of new materials and processes as well as provide fundamental understanding and improvement of current materials and processes. Implementing these new algorithms on current and next generation massively parallel computers requires a team approach which includes materials and chemical scientists, applied mathematicians and computer scientists.

The following priority research directions form the basis for BES SciDAC Partnership projects:

• Capturing Solar Energy
• Chemical Reactions
• Magnetism and Superconductivity
• Materials Under Extreme Environments
• Separations
• Energy Storage
