STFC DiRAC Project Office 2014-2017

现在人们普遍认为，“计算科学，即通过计算机建模和模拟对物理过程进行科学研究”，是科学的第三大支柱，是理论和实验的补充和延伸。（International Review of Research using HPC in the UK，（2005年）。STFC DIRAC高性能计算设施支持由粒子物理学顾问小组、核物理学顾问小组、粒子天体物理学顾问小组、天文学顾问小组和太阳系科学顾问小组。粒子物理学、粒子天体物理学、核物理学、天体物理学、太阳系和行星科学的理论研究处于世界领先地位，DiRAC支持的研究已在高影响力的权威期刊上发表; 2010年发表了160篇文章，2011年和2012年发表了381篇文章，2013年发表了250多篇论文（请参阅我们年度报告中的出版物列表沿着www.example.com上的科学亮点http://www.dirac.ac.uk/science.html）。

It is now accepted that "computational science, the scientific investigation of physical processes through modelling and simulation on computers," is the third pillar of science, complementing and extending theory and experimentation" (International Review of Research using HPC in the UK, 2005).The STFC DIRAC High Performance Computing Facility supports the simulation and modelling requirements of those communities that are represented by the Particle Physics Advisory Panel, Nuclear Physics Advisory Panel, Particle Astrophysics Advisory Panel, Astronomy Advisory Panel and the Solar System Science Advisory Panel.Theoretical research in Particle Physics, Particle Astrophysics, Nuclear Physics, Astrophysics, Solar System and Planetary Science are world leading and DiRAC-enabled research has been published in high-impact refereed journals; 160 articles in 2010, 381 in 2011 and 2012 and over 250 papers produced in 2013 (see our publications list in our annual reports along with Science highlights at http://www.dirac.ac.uk/science.html ).
