The U.S. Energy Department's Office of Science has allocated a total of 95 million hours of computing time on some of the most powerful supercomputers in the world to 45 projects under the aegis of its 2007 Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (INCITE) program. The projects were selected on the strength of how suitable they were for supercomputing and their research's potential impact. Nine of the winning programs are industrial in nature, adding up to twice as many companies with INCITE awards in 2007 versus 2006. Accelerator physics, fusion energy, environmental science, chemical sciences, climate research, computer science, engineering physics, life sciences, materials science, nuclear physics, and nuclear engineering are among the research domains to be covered in 2007. The study of global climate change, the design of less noisy automobiles and better commercial aircraft, and analysis of supernovas and nanomaterials are some of the research's practical applications. "The Department of Energy's Office of Science has one of the top 10 most powerful supercomputers in the world and four of the top 100 and we're proud to provide these resources to help researchers advance scientific knowledge and understanding," declared Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman. "I look forward to witnessing the promise of these efforts as some of the world's greatest thinking minds use some of the world's greatest thinking computers."
