Science at the Terascale and Beyond

Terascale and petascale computing capabilities are essential for tackling larger and ever-more challenging research questions. Improving current understanding of Earth system dynamics requires more data, higher resolution models, and trained experts capable of creating and running increasingly complex models. Both on behalf of and with help from the community, NCAR is successfully addressing many of these challenges, with solutions ranging from provision of new, faster, better computing technology, software and tools, to fostering collaboration across disciplines, and tackling complex scientific questions.
