We’re excited to announce that MSBAI has been awarded a prestigious allocation on the Department of Energy’s (DOE) leadership-class supercomputers through the ASCR Leadership Computing Challenge (ALCC) program. This incredible opportunity will accelerate the development of our groundbreaking autonomous system, GURU, which is designed to revolutionize modeling and simulation processes.

Driving advancements in autonomous modeling and simulation

GURU is set to reduce modeling and simulation setup times from hours to minutes, supporting faster development of advanced reactor designs and helping achieve the White House’s goal of 100% carbon pollution-free electricity by 2030. By making advanced simulations more accessible, GURU democratizes high-performance computing (HPC). Additionally, GURU will push the boundaries of AI in scientific computing, supporting the DOE’s mission to lead in artificial intelligence research and development, and addressing the critical shortage of simulation experts with its user-friendly interface.

Project Overview

Our project, “Autonomy for DOE Simulations,” will utilize 100,000 node-hours on the Frontier exascale system at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and 30,000 node-hours on Aurora at Argonne National Laboratory. This extensive computing power will drive advancements in hybrid interaction, skills agent learning, and geometry search and synthesis, key components of GURU’s AI-driven workflow automation.

The project will have significant implications for the DOE’s mission and could drive long-term advancements in scientific research, environmental policy, and clean energy solutions.

Other Notable ALCC Awards

The ALCC program has also awarded HPC allocations to a variety of other groundbreaking projects. These include simulations of large-scale neutron star remnants, development of advanced quantum chemical methods, high-fidelity simulations for nuclear power advancements, and building digital twins for biopreparedness. These diverse projects highlight the broad impact of the ALCC program across multiple scientific and technological disciplines.

A Game-Changing Award

Allan Grosvenor, Founder and CEO at MSBAI, shared, “This ALCC award is a game-changer for our development of GURU. By harnessing the power of DOE’s world-leading supercomputers, we’re poised to make even more unprecedented leaps in AI-driven engineering design and simulation.”
