Center for Computational Science
The Center for Computational Science at
Tulane and Xavier Universities is the first Center established in the Gulf
region to focus on computational science research projects across many
disciplines. The Center provides an infrastructure for investigators interested
in computational science to exchange ideas, produce research and establish new
collaborations.
The initial phase to establish the Center was made
possible through funds from the U.S. Department of Energy and Tulane
University. The Center, with 2 permanent staff members and four postdoctoral
researchers, began operations at Tulane University in June 2001. Ten Tulane
faculty and several Xavier faculty are involved in the Center, which also runs
a seminar series with local and outside speakers.

The Center for
Computational Science is a hub of powerful computers and processors. Tulane and
Xavier Universities can now do their computational 'heavy-lifting' at the
Center. Complex simulations and calculations that were previously impossible or
impractical now take a fraction of the time they would have.
