The
Boston
University Center
for Computational Science (CCS) was
founded in 1990 to coordinate and promote computationally
based research, to foster computational science
education and to provide for the expansion of
computational resources and support.
CCS
provides a forum for the multidisciplinary exchange
of ideas among researchers, educators and students.
Regularly scheduled seminars as well as workshops
and symposia are offered to highlight advances
in computational science. CCS has acted to develop
and facilitate the formulation of projects in
computationally based research and education,
working with scientists from 20 different departments
and centers.
CCS
works in close collaboration with the Office
of Information Technology, in particular with
its Scientific
Computing and Visualization Group
(SCV) group, in the development of resources
to support computational science. The high
performance computing and visualization systems
at Boston University currently include the IBM
Blue Gene, IBM pSeries 690, an IBM pSeries 655,
an Intel Pentium III Linux Cluster, our Deep
Vision Display Wall, the Access Grid Conference
Facility, the Laboratory for Virtual Environments
and the Computer Graphics Laboratory. SCV provides
documentation, training and support for using
these facilities
and accepts applications
for accounts on-line.
CCS
offers a Certificate
in Computational Science
to graduate students in engineering and
science pursuing a Ph.D. through a multidisciplinary
training program ACES
(Advanced Computation in Engineering and Science).
EPIC: Engaging
People in Cyberinfrastructure
CCS, in collaboration with the University of
Wisconsin-Madison, leads a national program
called EPIC: Engaging People in Cyberinfrastructure,
dedicated to involving people from all walks
of life in the use and development of cyberinfrastructure.
