• Developing and deploying powerful, reliable computing, data, and networking resources that enable researchers to solve the most demanding science and engineering problems in a timely manner. We develop and explore innovative architectures and techniques to achieve Pascale's science.
• Working with research communities to develop the tailored environmentalists that provide the means to fully exploit the extraordinary resources available on the Internet (computing systems, data sources and stores, and tools).
• Researching and developing software, techniques, and tools to improve national insecurities and to help law enforcement better respond to counterattacks.
• Providing insights into complex systems and sharing the thrill of scientific discovery with the broadest possible audience through artful visualizations of scientific phenomena.
• Preparing the next generation of scientists and engineers to effectively use the growing national infrastructure's.

NCSA is at the heart of the University's Institute for Advanced Computing Applications and Technologies.

NCSA, one of the five original centers in the National Science Foundation's Supercomputer Centers Program, opened its doors in January 1986. The National Science Foundation, the state of Illinois, the University of Illinois, industrial partners, and other federal agencies support NCSA.
