The Advanced Simulation and Computing Program ASC is a cornerstone of the Stockpile Stewardship Program providing simulation capabilities and computational resources to support the annual stockpile assessment and certification to study advanced nuclear-weapons design and manufacturing processes to analyze accident scenarios and weapons aging and to provide the tools to enable Stockpile Life Extension Programs SLEPs and the resolution of Significant Finding Investigations SFIs. This requires a balanced resource including technical staff hardware simulation software and computer science solutions. This Program Plan describes the ASC strategy and the deliverables required to accomplish the FY 2006-2010 multifaceted objectives defines program goals introduces the new national work breakdown structure and details the new subprograms their strategics and their associated performance indicators. The plan also includes ASC Level 1 Milestones and the top ten risks. To ensure synchronizations with the SSP's needs the Program Plan will be reviewed and updated annually. The Advanced Simulation and Computing Program or ASC is a super-computing program run by the National Nuclear Security Administration in order to simulate test and maintain the United States nuclear stockpile. The program was created in 1995 in order to support the Stockpile Stewardship Program or SSP. The goal of the initiative is to extend the lifetime of the current aging stockpile. After the United States' 1992 moratorium on live nuclear testing the Stockpile Stewardship Program was created in order to find a way to test and maintain the nuclear stockpile. In response the National Nuclear Security Administration began to simulate the nuclear warheads using supercomputers. As the stockpile ages the simulations have become more complex and the maintenance of the stockpile requires more computing power. 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. Within the ASC program there are six subdivisions each having their own role in the extension of the life of the stockpile. Facility Operations and User Support: The Facility Operations and User Support subdivision is responsible for the physical computers and facilities and the computing network within ASC. They are responsible for making sure the tri-lab network computing storage space power usage and the customer computing resources are all in line. Computational Systems and Software Environment: The Computational and User Support subdivision is responsible for maintaining and creating the supercomputer software according to NNSA's standards. They also deal with the data networking and software tools. The ASCI Path Forward project substantially funded the initial development of the Lustre parallel file system from 2001 to 2004. Verification and Validation: The Verification and Validation subdivision is responsible for mathematically verifying the simulations and outcomes. They help software engineers write more precise codes in order to decrease the margin of error when the computations are run. Physics and Engineering Models: The Physics and Engineering Models subdivision is responsible for deciphering the mathematical and physical analysis of nuclear weapons. They integrate physics models into the codes in order to gain a more accurate simulation. They deal with the way that the nuclear weapon will act under certain conditions based on physics. They also study nuclear properties vibrations high explosives advanced hydrodynamics material strength and damage thermal and fluid response and radiation and electrical responses. Integrated Codes: The Integrated Codes subdivision is responsible for the mathematical codes that are produced by the supercomputers. They use these mathematical codes and present them in a way that is understandable to humans. 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. Advanced Technology Development and Mitigation: The Advanced Technology Development and Mitigation subdivision is responsible for researching developments in high performance computing. Once information is found on the next generation of high performance computing they decide what software and hardware needs to be adapted in order to prepare for the next generation of computers.

200280753Washington DC: National Nuclear Security Administration 2002. Contemporary Xerox-style copy. Staplebound. Good. 4 18 18 pages of Risk & Opportunity Assessment 19-21 pages Fold-outs. This 90=day study was commissioned at the request of NA-12 senior management with the express purpose of finding weaknesses in the current ADAPT Campaign-level management and administrative processes and developing fixes alternatives and/or instituting new processes. The study was facilitated by experts from Westinghouse Savannah River Corp. and used their approach to systems engineering. The core members of the analysis team consisted of the seven ADAPT site manages and three MTE Major Technical Effort managers. The team was lead by the NA-12 Campaign Manager in collaboration with the NA-11 and NA-12 HQ ADAPT leads. The team developed a new vision for ADAPT with the future of the Nuclear Weapons Complex NWC in mind. Supporting the vision was a set of eleven goals that were intended to support a balance between short-term vs. long-term development needs efficient processes and procedures vs. effective stewardship and optimization of limited funds site-unique capability improvement vs. increased multi-site cooperation and collaboration; and improved communication of priorities problems expectations and requirements both from and to designers weapons program managers other campaigns and senior management. One of NNSA's core missions is to ensure the United States maintains a safe secure and reliable nuclear stockpile through the application of unparalleled science technology engineering and manufacturing. The Office of Defense Programs carries out NNSA's mission to maintain and modernize the nuclear stockpile through the Stockpile Stewardship and Management Program. The Stockpile Stewardship Program enables NNSA to extend the lifespan and ensure the continued safety reliability and effectiveness of weapons that have reached the end of their original design life through life extension programs. These life extensions address aging and performance issues enhance safety features and improve security.<br/><br/>As with any complex mechanical system components in nuclear weapons degrade over time even when kept in storage. A life extension program comprehensively analyzes all of a weapon's components and determines whether to reuse refurbish or replace them to extend the service life of the weapon. When planning life extension programs NNSA must develop specific solutions to extend the lifetime of each weapon type because each is unique. Life extension programs also require NNSA to certify the weapon's protected period its new lifetime for 20 to 30 years. By extending the time that a weapon can safely and reliably remain in the stockpile NNSA is able to maintain a credible nuclear deterrent without producing new weapons or conducting underground nuclear explosive tests.<br/><br/>NNSA also conducts alterations of weapons at the system sub-system or component level to make sure the weapons is safe secure and effective. An alteration is a limited scope change that affects assembly tests maintenance and/or storage of weapons. An alteration may address identified defects and component obsolescence however it does not change a weapon's operational capabilities. National Nuclear Security Administration unknown

Illustrations. Acronyms & Abbreviations. Glossary. This type of document is very ephemeral and it is believed that very few copies have survived in the more than two decades since it was issued. The United States government's Strategic Computing Initiative funded research into advanced computer hardware and artificial intelligence from 1983 to 1993. The initiative was designed to support various projects that were required to develop machine intelligence in a prescribed ten-year time frame from chip design and manufacture computer architecture to artificial intelligence software. The project was superseded in the 1990s by the Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative and then by the Advanced Simulation and Computing Program. These later programs did not include artificial general intelligence as a goal but instead focused on supercomputing for large scale simulation such as atomic bomb simulations. The Advanced Simulation and Computing Program or ASC is a super-computing program run by the National Nuclear Security Administration in order to simulate test and maintain the United States nuclear stockpile. The program was created in 1995 in order to support the Stockpile Stewardship Program or SSP. The goal of the initiative is to extend the lifetime of the current aging stockpile.

200784040Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration 2007. Final Report--Presumed first edition first printing. Wraps. Very good. Format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. 272 pages. Illustrated front and back cover. Illustrations mostly in color. Definition of Terms. References. Appendices. Minor cover wear noted. NASA letter of appreciation to a senior National Nuclear Security Administration technical expert for support to this report. In the 2005 Budget Authorization Act the U.S. Congress directed the NASA Administrator to provide an analysis of alternatives to detect track catalogue and characterize potentially hazardous near-Earth objects NEO. Congress required that the Administrator submit a program by December 28 2006 to survey 90% of the potentially hazardous objects measuring at least 140 meters in diameter by the end of 2020. In addition the legislation required the Administrator to submit an analysis of alternatives that NASA could employ to divert an object on a likely collision course with Earth. A study team led by the Office of Program Analysis and Evaluation PA&E derived requirements and figures of merit from the Act and used these factors to evaluate the alternatives. The team developed a range of options from public and private sources and then analyzed their capabilities levels of performance life-cycle costs schedules and development and operations risks. This document presents the detailed results of these analyses. A summary report was submitted to Congress in December of 2006. During related Congressional testimony on this report it was stated that The report's basic conclusion is that ``NASA recommends that the program continue as currently planned and we will also take advantage of opportunities using potential dual-use telescopes and spacecraft--and partner with other agencies as feasible--to attempt to achieve the legislated goal within 15 years. However due to current budget constraints NASA cannot initiate a new program at this time.'' In addition the report contained a number of additional findings <br /> including: ``The goal of the Survey Program should be modified to detect track catalogue and characterize by the end of 2020 90 percent of all Potentially Hazardous Objects PHOs greater than 140m whose orbits pass within 0.05 AU of the Earth's orbit as opposed to surveying for all NEOs; The Agency could achieve the specified goal of surveying for 90 percent of the potentially hazardous NEOs by the end of 2020 by partnering with other government agencies on potential future optical ground-based observatories and building a dedicated NEO survey asset assuming the partners' potential ground assets come online by 2010 and 2014 and a dedicated asset by 2015; Together the two observatories potentially to be developed by other government agencies could complete 83 percent of the survey by 2020 if observing time at these observatories is shared with NASA's NEO Survey Program; New space-based infrared systems combined with ground-based assets could reduce the overall time to reach the 90 percent goal by at least three years. Space systems have additional benefits as well as costs and risks compared to ground-based alternatives; Radar systems cannot contribute to the search for potentially hazardous objects but may be used to rapidly refine tracking and to determine object sizes for a few NEOs of potentially high interest. Existing radar systems are currently oversubscribed by other missions. Determining a NEO's mass and orbit is required to determine whether it represents a potential threat and to provide required information for most alternatives to mitigate such a threat. Beyond these parameters characterization requirements and capabilities are tied directly to the mitigation strategy selected.''. National Aeronautics and Space Administration paperback
