| CENTER: SCALABLE APPLICATIONS DEVELOPMENT SOFTWARE |
Software for Leadership-Class Computing
 |
A grand challenge for computer science is to develop software technology that makes it possible to harness the power of leadership-class systems and to apply it productively to aid scientific discovery. The Center for Scalable Application Development Software (CScADS) is prepared to address that challenge. |

| HARDWARE |
Unconventional Architectures for High-Throughput Sciences
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) research goes beyond "traditional supercomputing" applications to address emerging problems that need scalable, real-time solutions. The results are new, unconventional architectures for data-intensive applications specifically designed to process the deluge of scientific data.
