Read the article: CISL's new software engineering section delivers “a fresh approach”

July 14, 2025

The Computing and Information Systems Laboratory (CISL) at NSF NCAR has launched a new software engineering section. This initiative aims to tackle complex scientific challenges by making software run faster and more efficiently on modern computing architectures.

The new section emphasizes collaborative, team-based development for critical infrastructure;  optimizing existing software for speed and efficiency; and fostering community growth through mentoring and tutorials.

"Through conversations with the community, we hear that computational bottlenecks often limit the scale and scope of the problems researchers can explore. Our goal is to change that,” said Sheri Voelz, Section Manager.
