SciDAC AWARDS.(DOE's Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing)(Brief Article)

Poptronics, December, 2001

Under its Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) program, the U.S. Department of Energy has awarded $57 million for this fiscal year to 51 research projects in fields including fusion energy sciences, nuclear astrophysics, and high-performance computing. SciDAC is an integrated program that will help create a new generation of scientific simulation codes.

It also includes research on mathematical and computer software to allow these codes to use modern parallel computers efficiently. Another goal is developing "collaboratory" software to enable far-flung scientists to work together better, to control scientific instruments remotely, and to share data more easily.
