With custom-built web platforms and data visualizations, software engineer Aaron Watters helps scientists gain insightful perspectives on their data.
The SCC also creates and disseminates software tools for the wider computational science community, with the goal of ensuring that technology is not the limiting factor of scientific progress. Powering the work of the Flatiron Institute is a high-performance computer cluster designed, deployed and maintained by SCC. It comprises 180,000 cores, 600 GPUs, and 60 petabytes of raw storage. In addition, SCC works with vendors and other computing facilities to make new technologies available for experimentation by Flatiron Institute researchers.
