About the Division
Our vision is to be nationally recognized for leadership in providing computational and information sciences, and secure science-driven, high-end computing research and development to enable discoveries through large-scale science and translate those discoveries into solutions.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's Computational Sciences & Mathematics (CSM) Division is merging high-performance computing with data-centric analysis capabilities to solve significant problems of national interest in energy, the environment, and national security. Computational scientists at PNNL create tools and techniques that enable scientific breakthroughs by conducting applied research in computer science, computational biology and bioinformatics, and applied mathematics.
Our mission is to translate the latest scientific and technical accomplishments into computational solutions that benefit the nation. For example, the latest advancements of PNNL's Data-Intensive Computing Initiative (DICI) has enabled scientists to develop intelligent hardware and software solutions that analyze, store, and share data in ways that enable innovative research, while reducing both cost and time. These research and development activities are giving rise to scientific breakthroughs in high-impact areas, including infrastructures, computing architectures, and advanced analytical techniques.
In addition, CSM offers investigator-initiated and multi-institutional collaborative research, unique scientific instrumentation, and national program leadership to translate the latest discoveries into technologies for the scientific community.
To address a constantly shifting set of opportunities as new areas of inquiry become technically feasible for the first time, CSM is cultivating research capabilities in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, High-Performance Computing, Informatics and Knowledge Science, Scalable Data Management, Computational Mathematics, and Modeling and Simulation.
