Synergistic Environments for Experimental Computing

About SEEC

SEEC, established in July 2014, constitutes a unique center that is interdisciplinary and integrative in both the range of core disciplines that it integrates – 20 departments across seven (7) colleges – and the range of applications it seeks to benefit.

SEEC adopts a synergistic co-design approach across hardware, software, and algorithms that exposes latent performance and more substantively accelerate discovery and innovation.

The figure below demonstrates what the SEEC center has been able to achieve with synergistic co-design in the narrow area of n-body molecular modeling.
