of complex physical processes plays a large and growing role in many industries and in our national security.
Simulations help designers and analysts assess the behavior of engineered and natural systems under a variety of conditions. They play a vital role in the design of experiments and in the interpretation of experimental results. They also lend insight into systems that are difficult or impossible to test experimentally.
The Center for Large-Scale Scientific Computing (CLASS) advances the state-of-the-art in large-scale scientific simulations and develops educational programs to train students for careers in modern scientific computation.
