The role of computational science in academic insitutions

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.
