Welcome to Scientific Computing Laboratory!




The Scientific Computing Laboratory (SCL)  is one of the research laboratories under the 

Department of Computer Science, University of the Philippines Diliman 

interested in the construction of mathematical models and numerical techniques  

for optimization, configuration and design of complex systems 

to better understand scientific, social scientific and engineering problems.
