Research

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.).

We are currently working on the following projects:

Application of efficient, high-performance computing with advanced artificial intelligence techniques for diagnosing diseases in heterogeneous systems.

Development of advanced techniques for efficient execution of the hardware accelerators in the superchip architecture.

Code modernization for Bioinformatics: Acceleration of bioinformatics and bio-inspired algorithms, mainly focused on those of Systems Biology.
