At the forefront of scientific discovery

The National Center for Computational Sciences (NCCS) is leading the charge in groundbreaking research by providing cutting-edge computing resources and expertise to innovators across government, academia, and industry.

As a vital part of the high-performance computing ecosystem, NCCS is home to the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF), featuring the revolutionary HPE Cray EX Frontier—recognized as the world’s first exascale machine and the fastest supercomputer dedicated to open science.

With extraordinary peak performance capabilities of 1.5 exaflops, Frontier allows researchers to tackle over 1 quintillion calculations every second!

Every year, NCCS empowers scientists and engineers with more than 36 million hours of computing time, enabling them to confront some of the toughest challenges in earth science, medicine, materials, and energy.
