From our home planet to the far reaches of space, NASA will highlight science and engineering mission advances enabled by agency supercomputers at SC14.  Inside the NASA exhibit, presenters will unveil on a 10-foot-wide hyperwall stunning new high-definition movies showing:

• Unprecedented global maps of the ocean and sea-ice incorporating four years of observational data to address questions such as how our ocean takes up and releases heat;
• A massive two-year “Nature Run” simulating Earth’s weather at local scales much finer than the highest-resolution global weather models that will help NASA design new satellite instruments;
• Computational analysis supporting acoustic testing to ensure a safe lift-off for the Space Launch System, NASA’s next heavy-lift rocket for deep space exploration; and
• The most realistic galaxy simulations ever produced, giving us a better understanding of cosmic mysteries including how dark matter behaves and how black holes evolve.
