Welcome to NASA's SC2000 Website

The NASA High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC) Program hosted NASA's presence at the SC2000 conference with exhibits, events and speakers from all around the agency. Five NASA centers demonstrated NASA science and technologies at this year's conference: Ames Research Center (ARC), Glenn Research Center (GRC), Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and Langley Research Center (LaRC).

On this site you will find:

• descriptions of demonstrations at the NASA booth
• breakdown of demonstrations by NASA center
• high-resolution images to download for news stories
• map locator for each demo in the booth
• schedule of agency participation in technical events
• layout of the SC2000 exhibit floor

High-performance computing and networking are critical to NASA's quest to expand frontiers on the Earth, in the air, and in space. From improving our understanding of observational Earth and space data, to incredible computational models of revolutionary aerospace vehicles, our planet, and even distant stars, high-performance computing is absolutely critical to improving our knowledge of ourselves, our transportation systems, our planet, and the universe.

In order to pull this knowledge together, high-performance networking enables the best and brightest scientists and engineers to dream, design, and discover together, and then allows us to share these discoveries with the American public, especially our children.
