The Projects in Scientific Computing Archive

Projects in Scientific Computing is an annual report that highlights research at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center. Much of this work bears on questions of broad social impact, such as the development of new therapeutic drugs, understanding heart disease, better knowledge of earthquakes and improved forecasting of severe storms.

Since 2004, many of these projects demonstrate the scientific impact of the the National Science Foundation's evolving program of U.S. cyberinfrastructure to support research and education — initally the TeraGrid, and since 2011 XSEDE. The articles communicate at a non-specialist level. They report on work that has advanced scientific understanding and that could not have been accomplished without the technological and human resources of scientific computing.


Produced each year in the fall, Projects highlights research during that year along with activities of the PSC staff and its partnerships.
