How does INCITE and supercomputing fit in to the Department of Energy’s mission?
Supercomputing is fueling a modern scientific revolution, adding simulation and modeling to the two original tools of the scientific method: theory and experimentation. From discovery computing in biofuels genetics to modeling nuclear materials for deterrence and energy production, the Department of Energy uses its supercomputers to enable researchers to pursue energy and national security related work at the crossroads of computational and physical sciences.
