Organization and Nodes
Lab IeS is composed of 17 different nodes across the country. Each node is managed by a coordinator and includes professors and researchers.
Mission
The HPC ecosystem rests on three pillars which are the sectors 1) infrastructure, 2) enabling technologies for computing, 3) applications. The "HPC: Key Technologies and Tools" (HPC-KTT) laboratory focuses on the field of enabling technologies for computing and aims to collaborate closely with the main players in the other two sectors, such as supercomputing centers and centers of excellence on specific application domains.
Description
Objectives of the research activities
HPC programming is inherently complex because it requires combining the specific skills of application domains, such as chemistry and physics, with the technical skills in high-performance computing, more typical of information technology and computer engineering. A complexity destined to increase with the ongoing trend towards computing devices' specialization (CPU, GPU, DPU, FPGA, etc.), the heterogeneity of platforms, and the growing need to guarantee applications extra-functional requirements, such as security and robustness.
