Scientists today rely on advances in computer science, applied mathematics, and computational science, as well as high-performance computing and networking facilities, to increase our understanding of ourselves, our planet, and our universe.The mission of Computing Sciences at Berkeley Lab is to achieve transformational, breakthrough impacts in scientific domains through the discovery and use of advanced computational methods and systems and to make those instruments accessible to the broad scientific community.The Computing Sciences organization advances computational science throughout the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science research programs. Our greatest strength is our people. They specialize in solving scientific problems using expertise in computer hardware and software, computational science, applied mathematics, networking, and middleware services.Computing Sciences carries out its mission by operating two national user facilities — NERSC and ESnet — and by conducting applied research and development in computer science, computational science, and applied mathematics, the three essential elements of computational modeling and simulation.Combining computer and network operations with research and development provides tangible benefits to both the scientists who use our systems and their research programs. Just as our R&D programs benefit science, the needs of scientists influence the direction of our research. These two sides of Computing Sciences' work — systems and services, and research and development — are more than complimentary. Each enhances the quality of the other.Computing Sciences is comprised of three divisions: the Computational Research Division (CRD), the National Energy Research Scientific Computing (NERSC) Center Division, and the Scientific Networking Division, which manages the Energy Sciences Network ESnet.
