DOE's Integrated Research Infrastructure (IRI) will seamlessly link DOE's experimental and observational scientific user facilities, data assets, and advanced computing resources so that researchers can combine these tools in novel ways that radically accelerate discovery

The term ASCR Facilities Ecosystem represents the fact that ASCR's computing (ALCF, OLCF, NERSC) and networking (ESnet) user facilities are not isolated but are richly connected, and increasingly integrate efforts to enable DOE mission objectives. The ASCR Facilities Ecosystem will grow to include the High Performance Data Facility, spanning high performance computing, data, and networking infrastructure

DOE Facility Interface Improvement

IRI is being designed to create better interfaces between DOE user facilities

Integrated Frameworks for IRI

IRI will include frameworks for integration in software, policy and governance

Enhancing Facility Capabilities

IRI will layer on top of existing (and future) facility capabilities, to enhance integration and usability/user experience

Managing ASCR Integration

IRI is the means by which we will manage the ASCR ecosystem and its further integration that is required specifically for the Office of Science
