A computer simulates a one-kilometer comet crashing into the Atlantic Ocean.

High-performance computing, computational simulation, and networking have an increasing role in enhancing the security and economic prosperity of the United States. Sandia provides differentiating expertise in information technology and systems to weapon programs, related mission programs, other integrated capabilities, and national information initiatives.

Many of these applications are now helping to solve complex industrial problems of a scope never before feasible. Visualization of oil and gas reservoirs, modeling the entire life cycle of a manufactured product, or simulating an airliner crash are just a few examples of the problems our world record Teraflops computer and comprehensive applications have recently tackled.
