Molecular Science Computing (MSC)

The MSC supports EMSL's flagship computing resources including:

The MSC provides an integrated production computing environment. EMSL links to external facilities within the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), collaborating universities, and industry. EMSL supports a wide range of computational activities in environmental molecular research, including benchmark calculations on small molecules, reliable calculations on large molecules and solids, simulations of large biomolecules, large data bioinformatics computations, aerosol climate modeling, and reactive chemical transport modeling.

EMSL employs a forward-looking strategy to maintain leading-edge supercomputing capabilities and encourages users to combine computational and state-of-the-art experimental tools, providing a cross-disciplinary environment to further research. Learn about anticipated future challenges in biological and chemical sciences and environmental systems, the role that EMSL supercomputing resources and expert staff will play, and how EMSL's supercomputing upgrades will positively impact the environmental missions of DOE in the new MSC 2010 Greenbook (HighRes version [.pdf 8.8mb], or LowRes version [.pdf 4.3mb]).
