NAS Organization
The NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) Division is comprised of eight groups within four branches:
- TNA: Applied Modeling and Simulation Branch
- Charter: To design and conduct large-scale numerical simulations, primarily for mission-critical engineering applications and decision support of importance to NASA
- Group: Applied Modeling and Simulation
- TNC: Computational Technologies Branch
- Charter: To develop and apply advanced computational technologies and services, such as application performance optimization, system and user productivity tools, and data analysis and visualization
- Groups: Application Performance and Productivity, Visualization
- TNE: Systems and Engineering Branch
- Charter: To reliably maintain and operate the NAS facility, including supercomputing systems, data storage, local and wide area networking, and 24x7 user services
- Groups: Supercomputing Systems, Networking, User Services, Internal Operations
- TNF: Fundamental Modeling and Simulation Branch
- Charter: To pursue fundamental advances in numerical methodologies and algorithms, physical model enhancements, and applications code development for large-scale simulations of interest to NASA
