Mosaic was developed at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications ( NCSA ) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign beginning in late 1992.

Marc Andreessen, the leader of the team that developed Mosaic, left NCSA and, with James H. Clark, one of the founders of Silicon Graphics, Inc. ( SGI ), and four other former students and staff of the University of Illinois, started Mosaic Communications Corporation.

Support for NCSA comes from the National Science Foundation, the state of Illinois, the University of Illinois, business and industry partners, and other federal agencies.

NCSA is led by Thom Dunning, a computational chemist who previously worked at the University of Tennessee, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the United States Department of Energy and the Argonne National Laboratory.

The ' Black Proposal ' was a short, ten-page proposal for the creation of a supercomputing center which eventually led to funding from the National Science Foundation ( NSF ) to create supercomputing centers, including the National Center for Supercomputing Applications ( NCSA ) at the University of Illinois.

Donna Cox, leader of the Advanced Visualization Laboratory at NCSA and a professor in the School of Art and Design at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and her team have thrilled millions of people with visualizations for the Oscar-nominated IMAX film " Cosmic Voyage ," the PBS NOVA episodes " Hunt for the Supertwister " and " Runaway Universe ," as well as Discovery Channel documentaries and pieces for CNN and NBC Nightly News.

; 1993: Students and staff working at the NSF-supported National Center for Supercomputing Applications ( NCSA ) at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, develop Mosaic, the first freely available browser to allow World Wide Web pages that include both graphics and text.

He also worked at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications ( NCSA ) at the University of Illinois, where he became familiar with Tim Berners-Lee's open standards for the World Wide Web.

SCO was the first commercial Unix System supplier to license the powerful NCSA Mosaic hypertext, NCSA HTTPd and the first to ship these technologies from the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana bundled with an OS for commercial use.

The company, founded in 1990, was an offshoot of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and created to commercialize and support technologies from the National Center for Supercomputing Applications ( NCSA ).

AMosaic was based on NCSA's Mosaic, but was not distributed by the University of Illinois or NCSA.

From 1991-1994, this program was expanded to include summer programs at other supercomputing centers ( NCSA and University of Huntsville, Alabama in 1991 ; Reed College and the Oregon Graduate Institute, and Sandia National Laboratories in 1992 ).

Donna J. Cox is an American artist and scientist, Professor of Art + Design ; Director, Advanced Scientific Visualization Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign ( UIUC ); Director, Visualization and Experimental Technologies at National Center for Supercomputing Applications ( NCSA ); and Director, edream ( Illinois Emerging Digital Research and Education in Arts Media Institute ).

In 1993, Bina along with Marc Andreessen authored the first version of Mosaic while working as a programmer at National Center for Supercomputing Applications ( NCSA ) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

The TeraGrid project was launched in August 2001 with $ 53 million in funding to four sites: the National Center for Supercomputing Applications ( NCSA ) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the San Diego Supercomputer Center ( SDSC ) at the University of California, San Diego, University of Chicago Argonne National Laboratory, and Center for Advanced Computing Research ( CACR ) at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California.

Nearly 1, 360 scientists, engineers and students used the computing and data systems at NCSA to support research in more than 830 projects.

A list of NCSA hardware is available at NCSA Capabilities.

The National Science Foundation announced funding for the supercomputer centers in 1985 ; the first supercomputer at NCSA came online in January 1986.

A number of other tools followed, and like NCSA Telnet, all were made available to everyone at no cost.

In 1993 Clark met Marc Andreessen who had led the development of Mosaic, the first widely distributed and easy-to-use software for browsing the World Wide Web, while employed at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications ( NCSA ).

NCSA HTTPd was a web server originally developed at the NCSA by Robert McCool and others.

Funding from the bill was used in the development of the 1993 web browser Mosaic, at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications ( NCSA ).

NCSA provides leading-edge computing, data storage, and visualization resources.

) Within about 6 months, many of the resources from the university's National Center for Supercomputing Applications ( NCSA ) Mosaic Project were working for Netscape, and a Mosaic-based browser was released to the public.

In addition, Merrimack finished 96th in the overall NCSA Power Rankings across all three NCAA divisions.

Furthermore, Stonehill finished 65th in the overall NCSA Top 100 Power Rankings across all three NCAA divisions.

Among the better known programs in wide use were Fetch, Eudora, NewsWatcher and the NCSA packages, especially NCSA Mosaic and its offspring, Netscape Navigator.

The draft expired after six months, but was notable for its acknowledgement of the NCSA Mosaic browser's custom tag for embedding in-line images, reflecting the IETF's philosophy of basing standards on successful prototypes.

Realizing close to the beginning of rehearsals that a performance score was not available, NCSA enlisted the help of musicologist Philip Gossett, who was able to put them in touch with Sbragia, and his version, which was based on the original 1836 performances in Venice, became the work's critical edition.

NCSA Mosaic, or simply Mosaic, is the web browser credited with popularizing the World Wide Web.

NCSA released the browser in 1993, and officially discontinued development and support on January 7, 1997.

However, it can still be downloaded from NCSA.

NCSA Mosaic 1. 0 running under System 7 | System 7. 1, displaying the Mosaic Communications Corporation ( later Netscape ) website.

Version 2. 0 of NCSA Mosaic was released in December 1993, along with version 1. 0 releases for both Windows.

NCSA Mosaic 3. 0

Spyglass licensed the technology and trademarks from NCSA for producing their own web browser but never used any of the NCSA Mosaic source code.

Versions of Internet Explorer before version 7 stated " Based on NCSA Mosaic " in the About box.

The licensing terms for NCSA Mosaic were generous for a proprietary software program.
