Over 25 years ago, recognizing the role that parallel computers would play in scientific computing, MCS began exploring advanced computer architectures and the design of parallel programming tools to fully exploit the power of those systems.
With the establishment of the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility and the Laboratory Computing Resource Center, the MCS Division has focused principally on innovative algorithms, software, and tools that will enable researchers to fully exploit the most advanced computing systems for new science.
