6.2: Computers, Collaboratory Software, and Computational Models

Extend the frontiers of scientific simulation through a new generation of computational models that fully exploit the power of advanced computers and collaboratory software that makes scientific resources available to scientists anywhere, anytime.

Other Information:

Scientific discovery in many areas requires computational models that incorporate more complete and realistic descriptions of the phenomena being modeled than are possible today. Our strategy includes the following emphases: • Create, in partnerships across the Office of Science, new generations of models for fusion science, biology, nanoscience, physics, chemistry, climate, and related fields that provide highfidelity descriptions of the underlying science. • Incorporate the new models into scientific simulation software that achieves substantially greater performance from terascale supercomputers than we can achieve today. • Build on the successes of the SciDAC program.
