Blue Waters models lung airflow

Biologists are learning that lungs in vertebrates seem to evolve and adapt to the environment. But there is still much to learn, and NCSA's Blue Waters supercomputer is enabling those discoveries.

Blue Waters studies geomagnetism

Dr. Weijia Kuang from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center is using Blue Waters to gain insights into the inner reaches of the Earth.

NCSA/NGA to map the Earth

NCSA will receive $11.1 million in initial funding from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency to fundamentally change the way the Earth is mapped.

Blue Waters allocations available to 2020

NCSA will continue to provide supercomputing resources to University of Illinois researchers through the Blue Waters Project into 2020.

2019 Fall webinars

Four Blue Waters webinars are scheduled for the fall of 2019.
