The Systems Software R&D effort is aimed at making teraFLOPS (trillion floating-point operations per second) computing systems an integral part of large-scale computing activities in the Earth and space sciences. The ESS Project is focusing on 1) facilities that allow the rapid porting and tuning of evolving applications to the local architecture and 2) visualization tools capable of handling the data volumes associated with teraFLOPS systems and accessible from remote locations.
