Special Report: Computational Science — Behind Innovation and Discovery: Data-Intensive Computing Key to Large Science Discoveries
The advancement in computing technology has enabled scientists to collect massive amounts of data, taking us a step closer to solving complex problems such as global climate change and uncovering the secrets hidden in genes. The exponential growth in the amount of data collected from experiments, measurements and observations, however, has created an urgent technical challenge. A talented group of computational scientists are leading the effort at PNNL to tackle the challenge through a major initiative on high-performance and data-intensive computing. PNNL’s data-intensive computing initiative will attempt to accelerate the creation of computational solutions to support the study of problems of national scope involving large amounts of data from very complex systems.
