Abstract

Autonomous, cross-facility science requires capabilities that no individual project should have to build for itself: managed execution for long-lived services, versioned distribution of models to remote compute systems, governed access to large language models, a shared substrate for experimental data, and end-to-end provenance. The U.S. Department of Energy Genesis Mission platform, delivered through the American Science Cloud, provides these as reusable services. This paper reports how the Genesis platform enables cross-facility experiments and accelerates scientific discovery. We explore the plant phenotyping workflow of the Orchestrated Platform for Autonomous Laboratories as the exemplar: it couples Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Advanced Plant Phenotyping Laboratory with the Frontier supercomputer. In a 40-day nickel-treatment campaign, the resulting workflow replaced roughly twelve hours of manual analysis with interactive queries returning in seconds to minutes.
