National Center for Computational Sciences

Pioneers in Leadership Computing

The National Center for Computational Sciences is catalyzing the future of science through leadership computing and enabling scientific discovery through state-of-the-art computing resources and operational capability to scientists in government, academia, and industry.

We are world-leading experts in building, operating, and leveraging advanced computing systems for scientific discovery.

 

The National Center for Computational Sciences (NCCS) provides state-of-the-art computational and data science infrastructure for technical and scientific professionals to accelerate scientific discovery and engineering advances across a broad range of disciplines.

As an important part of the broader high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure, the division also hosts the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF), a Department of Energy Office of Science User Facility. Each year the OLCF provides over 36 million hours of computer time to scientists and engineers.
