Abstract :
This paper examines and describes some of the applications of using computational science at King Abdulla University of Science and Technology. KAUST is a huge research center that relies greatly on computer science. Therefore, the need for a supercomputer is essential to be able to accommodate the need for collaboration of researchers in different institutes in the kingdom. Another application was administered at the graduate level of well-known institutions in the Gulf region like King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals in Saudi Arabia. Moreover, a mobile learning project was conducted at DWC for Foundations students.
