CSC will provide support services to Nasa's Advanced Supercomputing Division at the Ames Research Center, which operates some of the most advanced and powerful supercomputers in the world.
The deal will also see support - as well as high performance computing research - given to the Nasa Center for Computational Sciences at the Goddard Space Flight Center.
