Center for Petascale Computing Petascale computing is near. Researchers in this center focus on the development of applications and technologies to realize the full potential of petascale computers. Duane Johnson (Materials Science and Engineering) and Laxmikant Kale (Computer Science) lead a project in Synergistic Research on Parallel Programming for Petascale Applications. Effectively harnessing the power of supercomputers, like the sustained-petascale Blue Waters system scheduled to come online at the University of Illinois in 2011, will require the coordinated development of petascale parallel programming tools and petascale applications. This project will combine the development of petascale applications in astrophysics, biomolecular science and materials science with complementary computer science research on the tools and technologies needed to support the development of these applications.
