The supercomputer room at the National Center for Atmospheric Research laboratory in Boulder, Colorado (pictured here). This is one of only a few machines in the world capable of handling a full Global Climate Model. Such models, which take into account hundreds of different phenomena and their interactions, are among the largest jobs handled by any computer.

The National Center for Atmospheric Research labs in Boulder, Colorado (designed by the great architect I.M. Pei). The work of NCAR researchers exemplifies the high level of excellence that the US Government – in this case, through partnership with a consortium of universities – can sometimes achieve. Among much other work, NCAR hosts a leading Global Climate Model (the supercomputer is pictured here).
