The mission of the Center for Scientific Computation at Southern
Methodist University is to stimulate interdisciplinary education and
research in simulation-based engineering and science. We are motivated
by the fact that computer simulation has become an essential component
of research in most disciplines in engineering and science, and that
advances in computing, networking, and data storage technologies are
likely to accelerate this trend. At the same time, it is recognized
that our nation's position of dominance in this area can no longer be
taken for granted. Thus we believe that the education of the next
generation of computational scientists and engineers is an urgent
challenge which SMU must accept.
Specific goals of the center include:
- Education and training focused on high-performance computing
algorithms, software, and hardware.
- Formation of interdisciplinary research teams addressing
cutting-edge applications.
- Rapid communication of faculty and student research
accomplishments.
