About (SC)²

Mission

The SuperComputing Science Consortium, (SC)², is a partnership of the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC), Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Pittsburgh, West Virginia University (WVU), the West Virginia Governor's Office of Technology (WVGOT), the Institute for Scientific Research (ISR), Duquesne University, Waynesburg College, and the NASA Independent Verification & Validation facility. The partnership improves the ability of the partners to advance energy and environment technologies through the application of high performance computing and communications (HPCC).

Through the (SC)² framework, the partners will

• open cooperative channels among the partners with the objective of enhancing research in the West Virginia - Pennsylvania region
• facilitate collaborations among NETL, WVU and other institutions of higher learning in the West Virginia - Pennsylvania region and PSC on the application of HPCC to simulations of energy and environmental processes and on development and implementation of HPCC technologies for such simulations.

Near term goals are to

• continue to build on the regional high performance network linking the Morgantown area with the high-performance network hub at PSC.
• provide access to PSC supercomputing facilities for NETL, WVU researchers, and researchers at other regional institutions of higher learning.
• develop and enhance high performance computing facilities at NETL and WVU.

Research grants

Grants of supercomputing time are awarded for research which has relevance to the DOE mission (see www.netl.doe.gov). For more information on grant eligibility and the online grant application form, see the grants information.
