6.1: Complex Systems

Advance scientific discovery through research in the computer science and applied mathematics required to enable prediction and understanding of complex systems.

Other Information:

New computational methods are needed to make possible the simulation of the most complex physical and biological systems and to gain efficiency on multiprocessor terascale computers. Effective application of supercomputers requires sophisticated, scalable, operating systems; large-scale data management tools; and other computer science tools. We will support individual investigators and teams to develop new methods and tools, and encourage their transition to advanced computational science applications. Our strategy includes the following emphases: • Develop new and improved mathematical methods for addressing the challenges of multi-scale problems. • Create methods and capabilities to address large-scale data management. • Develop and apply middleware tools that enable researchers to focus on science while obtaining effective computational performance.
