Our Group integrates a series of lines of research, interrelated and developed in the context of High Performance Computing (HPC)

Research Lines

Considering HPC for Apps & Simulation, the main research lines focuses on two broad areas:

  1. HPC Technology
  2. Applications with Societal Impact

Detailed subjects:

Our project aims to provide solutions to the following problems, while it creates the corresponding technology that allows these solutions to be transferred:

  1. Performance and Efficiency in the use of HPC resources
    • Effect of the interconnection network on the performance of applications
    • Performance prediction. Scalability.
    • Efficient execution of applications: programming model, energy consumption, heterogeneous multicore.
  2. Availability of HPC resources (available to user)
    • Fault tolerance for HPC in numerical (technical-scientific) and transactional applications.
    • Integrity against attacks in use and/or access to the HPC resources (Vulnerability)
  3. Design and optimization of HPC systems, for “workloads” specific (application-specific domains)
    • CPU, network interconnection, I/O & Availability
    • Support tools (simulation)
  4. Social projection (impact) applications (solutions to problems of social impact -smart applications-, which require the capacity of HPC systems):
    • Simulation and optimization of Emergency Services in Hospitals (Smarter Health Services)
    • Simulation of Individuals oriented Models
      • HPCNelogo: Environment for the concurrent execution of ABM models under Netlogo-Behavior Space in an unattended/remote way on an HPC cluster using SGE (Github).
    • Simulation and optimization of movements of individuals in constrained environments (Smart Evacuations): Emergency Evacuations.

New Additions to the Project on High-Performance Computing and Heuristic Algorithms for the Management of Intelligent Systems

We are pleased to announce the addition of Betzabeth León and Alvaro Wong to the research team of the project titled “High-Performance Computing and Heuristic Algorithms for the Management of Intelligent Systems” (Reference PID2023-147955NB-I00). Their involvement strengthens the group’s commitment to developing innovative and efficient solutions through the use of advanced computing technologies and heuristic techniques applied to various intelligent environments.

HPC4EAS participated in #MWC25

This week, the HPC4EAS research group participated in #MWC25, within the 4YFN fair, along with other research groups from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). The #EnginyeriaUAB delegation was present at the event in collaboration with the Parc de Recerca UAB, Emprèn UAB, and Alumni UAB.

The event was a key opportunity to connect with other researchers and companies, showcasing the impact of high-performance computing research on industry and society.
