Developing
Computer Tools for Scientists "Having a supercomputer that doesn’t have any software that lets you use it is like having a fast car that you have locked your keys inside," says Al Geist, a group leader in ORNL's Computer Science and Mathematics Division (CSMD). More... |

From
the Stone Age to the Lego Block Age of Computing The Center for Component Technology for Terascale Simulation Software (CCTTSS), another of ORNL’s projects to receive funding from DOE’s Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) Program, may well revolutionize the way terascale software simulations are developed.
