Dr. Jack Dongarra founded ICL in 1989. Coming from Argonne National Laboratory, Dr. Dongarra received a dual appointment as a Distinguished Professor in the Computer Science Department at the University of Tennessee and as a Distinguished Scientist at nearby Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Since that date, ICL has grown from a single graduate assistant to a fully functional center, with a staff of more than 40 researchers, students, and administrators.
Our mission at ICL is simple: being a world leader in enabling technologies and software for scientific computing. Our goals are to provide leading edge tools to tackle science's most challenging high performance computing problems and to play a major role in the development of standards for scientific computing in general.
As part of the newly formed department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) in the College of Engineering at the University of Tennessee Knoxville, ICL continues to lead the way as one of the most respected academic research centers in the world. Our commitment to excellence has been one of the keys to our success as we strive to make a substantial impact in the high performance computing community.
