Within the Department of Energys (DOE) EMSL, new high-performance computing breakthroughs often are the result of combining the best of two worlds. Experimental and computational tools are integrated; suites of leading-edge hardware and software are developed in tandem; and, perhaps more than ever, scientists from different disciplines combine expertise. The addition of the Barracuda computing cluster, funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, has brought a new level of collaboration between teams of domain scientists (such as chemists) and computer scientists.
