The National Energy Software Center (NESC) is a software exchange and information center operated by Argonne National Laboratory for the US Department of Energy (DOE), with support from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The major objectives of the NESC program are: to promote the sharing of computer software among agency offices and contractors, to facilitate the transfer of agency-developed computer applications and technology to the information processing community, and to provide the focal point for DOE software exchange arrangements with other government agencies and for coordination of DOE acquisition of non-government software. This paper discusses how this center tests and packages scientific software.
