The San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) is an organized research unit of the University of California, San Diego.[1] Founded in 1985, it was one of the five original NSF supercomputing centers.
Its research pursuits are high performance computing, grid computing, computational biology, geoinformatics, computational physics, computational chemistry, data management, scientific visualization, cyberinfrastructure, and computer networking. SDSC computational biosciences contributions and earth science and genomics computational approaches are internationally recognized.
The current SDSC director is Frank Würthwein, Ph.D., UC San Diego physics professor and a founding faculty member of the Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute of UC San Diego. Würthwein assumed the role in July 2021. He succeeded Michael L. Norman, also a physics professor at UC San Diego, and who was the SDSC director since September 2010.
