High Performance & Distributed Computing

The work of the research cluster is concerned with the design and implementation of high performance and distributed computing systems. The HPDC cluster offers exciting research opportunities to explore emerging parallel computing architectures, disruptive memory hierarchies, parallel programming models, software for Exascale computational science, big data analytics, tools for performance and energy characterisation, virtualisation infrastructure for cloud computing and theoretical foundations of parallel computation.

For informal enquiries please contact Professor Dimitrios S. Nikolopoulos.
