====== Research ====== ===== Vision & Goals ===== The research of our group has always been centered around the topic of Supercomputing, with greater emphasis on **Interconnection networks**, **Computer architecture**, **Code modernization** and **High-Performance Performance Computing for Deep Neural Networks**. The group's philosophy is to contribute high-quality scientific research and be in permanent contact with national groups whose topics are similar to ours, as well as with some of the best-known European and American groups. As a result of this strategy, a significant percentage of the produced publications have emerged through collaborations with other groups. These works have been published in prestigious international journals (amongst IEEE-edited are TC and TPDS, and amongst Elsevier edited are JPDC, Parallel Computing, FGCS or JSA) and high-impact international conferences (HPCA, IPDPS, HiPC, ICPP, SC, ICS, EuroPAR, etc.). ===== Research Grants: Current Funded Projects ===== We are currently working on the following projects: ==HPCAI-HEALTH== Application of efficient, high-performance computing with advanced artificial intelligence techniques for diagnosing diseases in heterogeneous systems. ==DAMAS== Development of advanced techniques for efficient execution of the hardware accelerators in the superchip architecture. ==BIOCODE== Code modernization for Bioinformatics: Acceleration of bioinformatics and bio-inspired algorithms, mainly focused on those of Systems Biology. ==PHAST-DL== High-Performance Computing and Energy-Efficient Deep Neural Network Systems. ===== Research Grants: Past Funded Projects ===== * **Traditional and technological tools to create new melon varieties with high-value characteristics adapted to crop and Murcian markets (MELOMUR)**.
