Scientific computing through the Internet

CSC’s experts in various fields of science and technology give advice on the mathematical modeling of research, the use of application programs, and the visualization of research findings. Scientists can use Finland’s largest selection of scientific programs and Finland’s most powerful supercomputing environment through high-speed Funet data communications links. CSC’s resources are used annually by 3,000 scientists for about 800 research projects.

Modeling, simulation, statistical and other methods for analyzing data, and the use of databases are scientific methods supplementing empirical and theoretical research. Modeling and simulation can be used to investigate phenomena that cannot be studied empirically, for instance, because they are too dangerous or because the test arrangements are too expensive. Simulation is a way of seeking corroboration for theoretical hypotheses.

Methods of computational science

Computational science includes, among other things, the modeling of a phenomenon, the development and implementation of new solution methods, and the presentation of results using various approaches.
A brief introduction to the various steps

Scientific computing applications

Examples of IT applications for science include research into the young universe and modeling of the human body. Presentations of applications

What has been calculated on CSC’s computers?

Video presentations of seven top research teams that have utilized the IT services provided by CSC for science. See the videos (page only in Finnish)
