Hardware & Software
MCS Hardware
World-Class resources for world-class science computers and advanced visualization systems are becoming
increasingly fundamental to the advancement of science and engineering, complementing and in some cases
substituting for conventional methods of theory and experiment.
MCS Software
MCS has long been a leader in the development of robust, reliable software. As early as the 1970s, Argonne
spearheaded a series of software engineering projects that culminated in the release of EISPACK, LINPACK,
FUNPACK, and MINPACK. Today, MCS researchers are continuing this tradition, with an added emphasis on
portability and scalability. Thousands of researchers in academia and industry use our software in applications
that include computational chemistry, protein structure, vortex dynamics, astrophysics, climate modeling,
mathematics and logic, CFD, and reservoir simulation.
