The Computational Science Environment (CSE)

In an effort to provide a common platform for utilizing and developing data analysis and assessment applications in heterogeneous high performance computing (HPC) environments, the Classified Data Analysis and Assessment Center (CDAAC) has developed the computational science environment (CSE). CSE provides a stable suite of data analysis and assessment tools, applications, and libraries, which are common across most HPC environments and standard 64-bit Linux workstations. CSE also provides an experimental, cutting-edge suite of developer tools that can enhance the data analysis and assessment process. Most importantly, CSE provides a common platform that enables the development of full-featured portable HPC applications. This paper provides an overview of how CSE works and highlights some of the benefits of CSE.
