Computational Science? Computational science seeks to gain an understanding of science through the use of mathematical models on HP computers. Computational Science involves teamwork
Experiment Theory Computation Computational Science Complements, but does not replace, theory and experimentation in scientific research.
Computational Science Process A conceptual framework of computational science -- application, algorithm, and architecture. • application refers to the scientific problem of interest and the components of that problem that we wish to study and/or include. • algorithmrefers to the numerical/mathematical representation of that problem, including any numerical method or recipe used to solve the algorithm. • architecture refers to the computing platform and software tool(s) used to compute a solution set for the algorithm.
