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. 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. http://www.mcs.anl.gov Argonne National Laboratory As both an astrophysicist and director of the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC), Mike Norman understands two common perspectives on archiving massive scientific datasets.

(Nov. 16, 2009) - The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has been awarded the HPCwire's Readers' Choice Award for Best Application of Green Computing. The award was presented by Tomas Tabor, publisher of HPC http://www.mcs.anl.gov/news/detail.php?id=246 Over the next few months, a consortium that includes the University of Chicago will establish FutureGrid, a collaborative next-generation system for experimental scientific supercomputing. http://www.mcs.anl.gov/news/detail.php?id=247 Rich Samuels, a news correspondent with "Chicago Tonight," a local news program that airs on WTTW-Channel 11, visited the laboratory for a segment on cloud computing expected to run tonight during the 7 p.m. broadcast. http://www.mcs.anl.gov/news/detail.php?id=243 The Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellowship (DOE CSGF) program provides outstanding benefits and opportunities to students pursuing doctoral degrees in fields of study that utilize high performance computing to solve complex pr http://www.mcs.anl.gov/news/detail.php?id=244 Climate modeling research at Argonne has three main thrusts. The first involves developing climate models capable of executing efficiently on ultra-high-speed supercomputers, with full integration of biosphere and atmospheric processes. The second cl http://www.mcs.anl.gov/news/detail.php?id=248 Argonne National Laboratory staff will be presenting a wide variety of papers, workshops, Birds-of-a-Feather sessions, tutorials, and posters at SC09 on November 14-20 in Portland, Oregon. In addition to the participation in the technical program, http://www.mcs.anl.gov/news/detail.php?id=242 Steven Pieper and Robert Wiringa, senior scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, have won the 2010 Tom W. Bonner Prize in nuclear physics. The award will be presented by the American Physical Society in Washin http://www.mcs.anl.gov/news/detail.php?id=241 As part of insideHPC's series of articles with some of the big thinkers in HPC ahead of SC09, insideHPC spent some time with Rick Stevens to get a sense from him about where we are now, and where our community is headed next. http://www.mcs.anl.gov/news/detail.php?id=237 Chicago, popularly known for its gangsters, sports fans and deep-dish pizza, also has a cluster of impressive research institutions that often get overshadowed by the elite universities on both US coasts.
