A special report highlights the accomplishments of researchers running large, complex and often unprecedented simulations on Department of Energy Office of Science supercomputers. The research community gains access to these powerful machines through the Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment program, which is jointly managed by the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility at Argonne National Laboratory and the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. INCITE in Review is available at http://www.doeleadershipcomputing.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/INCITE_IR_FINAL_7-19-11.pdf. From modeling hurricanes that put people and property at risk to simulating combustion instabilities in power plant turbines and vehicle engines, INCITE projects aim to accelerate breakthroughs where major advancements would not be probable or even possible without supercomputing.
