Organisation profile
In HPCA4SE we focus our interest researching and developing in the field of high performance computing systems. Our applications are oriented to science and engineering fields, and we focus on both basic and applied research.
Therefore our researchers work studying and using advanced computing platforms such as multy/many core processors or GPUs, distributed systems, supercomputers, etc.. The models and tools obtained improve ease of use and performance of these systems.
Among our activities is also included the use of high performance computing systems through the analysis, development and tuning, applied to various scientific fields such as bioinformatics, simulation of natural phenomena or industrial components, etc.
