CACR, Caltech's Center for Advanced Computing Research, exists to ensure that Caltech is at the forefront of computational science and engineering (CS&E). CS&E is the practice of computer based modeling, simulation and data analysis for the study of scientific phenomena and engineering designs. Computer modeling and simulation makes it possible to investigate regimes that are beyond current experimental capabilities and to study phenomena that cannot be replicated in laboratories, such as the evolution of the universe.

CACR provides an environment that cultivates multidisciplinary collaborations. Our researchers take an applications-driven approach to CS&E, and currently work with Caltech groups in applied mathematics, astronomy, biology, engineering, geophysics, and experimental physics.

First beam in the LHC - Accelerating Science

The first beam in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN was successfully steered around the full 27 kilometres of the worlds most powerful particle accelerator at 10h28 September 10. This historic event marks a key moment in the transition from over two decades of preparation to a new era of scientific discovery. (Read the full story on the [more]
