NSF NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center - NWSC

02/10/2026

How does a supercomputer help further research?
At the NSF NCAR & UCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center (NWSC), high-performance computing systems support data visualization, weather forecasting, and other critical space and Earth system research.
Operated by NCAR Computational and Information Systems Laboratory, these powerful systems process enormous datasets and run complex models that allow scientists to explore patterns, test ideas, and push innovation forward!
Our 360° virtual tour takes you inside the NWSC and through visitor center exhibits that connect this computing power directly to the research it supports. Step inside and explore how data, models, and technology are used to inform real-world situations.
