National Center for Supercomputing Applications

The National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has been delivering groundbreaking innovation and pushing education and research collaborations into unexplored territories for 30 years. NCSA is a hub for researchers, industry, and students to address complex research problems in science and society, powered by the development and application of advanced and comprehensive digital environments. In addition to many notable projects, NCSA is home to a rich set of other data and computing resources. Recent discoveries that were not possible without these resources include the historic detection of gravitational waves, the computational design of the first set of antibody prototypes to detect the Ebola virus, and simulations that could potentially lead to new HIV therapies. NCSA Industry, a private-sector program, has been advancing 1/3 of the Fortune 50 by forging innovative collaborations and finding effective and scalable solutions.
