MCS Mission

Enhancing Productivity ...

The basic mission of the MCS Division is increase scientific productivity in the 21st century by providing intellectual and technical leadership in the computing sciences -- computer science, applied computational mathematics, and computational science.

Through World-Class Science ...

Projects in the division range from algorithm development and software design in core areas such as optimization, to exploration of new technologies such as distributed (Grid) computing and bioinformatics, to numerical simulations in challenging areas such as climate modeling.

Using World-Class Computing Facilities

Today's -- and tomorrow's -- scientific problems require access to "petaflops" computer systems, capable of a quadrillion operations per second. To address this challenge, Argonne has established a Petaflops Computing and Computational Science initiative. Our approach involves an ambitious program including the following:

  • Establishment of a Laboratory-wide computational science program
  • Development of a leadership computing facility
  • Expansion of targeted R&D activities
  • For an overview of computational science activities at Argonne, see the fact sheet. (pdf file)
