Research

PSC has been providing computing power and expertise to aid the national scientific and engineering community in their research for over twenty years. Represented below is just a fraction of the significant research that has been accomplished at PSC.

USER RESEARCH

The PSC is proud to enable important research in fields spanning the gamut of scientfic endeavor. Just a few examples of the research facilitated by PSC's advanced computing resources and excellent technical support are found in Projects in Scientific Computing, an annual report highlighting the best research conducted at PSC over the last year.

STAFF RESEARCH

PSC staff are involved in collaborative research projects with scientists in many different fields.

Epidemiology Research

PSC staff from several groups is actively involved in epidemiology research with scientists from the University of Pittsburgh.

Networking Research

The Advanced Networking group at PSC conducts research on network performance and analysis in support of high-performance computing. They also develop software to support heterogeneous distributed supercomputing applications and to implement high speed interfaces to archival and mass storage systems.

To see the current projects that Advanced Networking is involved in, visit the home page at http://www.psc.edu/networking.

The Advanced Networking group also authors numerous papers in networking research.

High-Performance Computing Research

The Advanced Systems group conducts research on high-performance computing systems.

Biomedical Research

The National Resource for Biomedical Supercomputing (NRBSC), supported by the NIH and housed at PSC, pursues leading edge research in high performance computing and the life sciences, and fosters exchange between PSC expertise in computational science and biomedical researchers nationwide.

Members of the NRBSC also conduct research in their own areas of interest.
