Engineering
The application of knowledge to real-world problems is the real payoff of scientific research. Engineering is reaching new heights with the help of some of the world’s leading supercomputers at the National Center for Computational Sciences (NCCS). Researchers are using the speed and power of Jaguar, the world’s fastest open science computer, and the NCCS’s Cray X1E Phoenix supercomputer to improve various processes and bring real innovation to the marketplace. Be it more efficient automotive engines or more durable airplanes, tomorrow’s technological breakthroughs may very well be the result of today’s computational engineering.
