SCD Roadmap Atlas

Where do we go from here??

Welcome to the SCD Roadmap Atlas

On this site we present a broadly defined divisional vision for high-performance computing in the next two to five years. Each of the roadmaps below provides a high-level assessment of activities and objectives the division will pursue as we make our collective way into the next century. These roadmaps provide both an overview and an outline of where we hope to invest our time and resources to advance scientific computing for the atmospheric and related sciences.

Computing Roadmap
SCD is working with the NCAR science divisions to issue an RFP to acquire an Advanced Research Computing System (ARCS).

Mass Store Roadmap
Providing optimal mass storage services and an enhanced Web interface to Mass Storage System data.
NETS Roadmap
Constructing a robust, reliable, and maintainable network to support UCAR's goals for the advancement of science, technology, and education.
Visualization & Data Analysis Roadmap
Enabling wide-area access, manipulation, analysis, and visualization of the most complex data sets in the earth sciences.

Research Database Roadmap
SCD will provide "clean", up-to-date and accurate data for use by the atmospheric and related science communities.

Research Activities Roadmap
