ORNL part of a $67 million set of awards for AI-related projects

The Lab is leading or co-leading six of the 43 projects funded.

The Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded $67 million for a number of artificial intelligence (AI) projects from institutions in both government and academia as part of its AI for Science initiative, with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) among those leading the way. The goal of this funding is to establish foundational models in research areas such as scientific machine learning, large language models for high-performance computing, and automating laboratory workflow.

In total, six ORNL-led (or co-led) projects received funding among the 43 announced by DOE. They include:

  • ENGAGE: (E)nergy-efficient (N)ovel Al(g)orithms and (A)rchitectures for (G)raph L(e)warning;
  • DyGenAI: Dynamic Generative Artificial Intelligence for Prediction and Control of High-Dimensional Nonlinear Complex Systems;
  • SciGPT: Scalable Foundational Model for Scientific Machine Learning;
  • Productive AI-Assisted HPC Software Ecosystem;
  • Privacy-Preserving Federated Learning for Science: Building Sustainable and Trustworthy Foundation Models; and
  • Durban: Enhancing Performance Portability in HPC (high-performance computing) Software with Artificial Intelligence.
