Projects
ELIXIR unites Europe's leading life science organisations in managing and safeguarding the increasing volume of data being generated by publicly funded research. It coordinates, integrates and sustains bioinformatics resources across its 23 Nodes.
ELIXIR enables users in academia and industry to access services (databases, software, training,...
After decades of development and a Nobel prize, Molecular Dynamics (MD) has reached maturity. It is no longer an exotic technique used by a small group of theoreticians but rather a method extensively used by a very large community of users. Millions of supercomputer hours are devoted to collecting trajectories, thus producing a deluge of simulation data that the community is...
MODELAIR proposes a combination of theoretical, experimental, numerical, and data-driven science that will simulate, control and design new disruptive technologies for future sustainable cities and will provide specialized training to 10 doctoral candidates (DCs) to make these new technologies available to city Councils and relevant industrial sectors.
The project aims to develop a computational platform for the virtual testing of industrial combustors using High-Performance Computing (HPC). It uses an advanced modelling strategy based on high-fidelity numerical simulations and HPC-based data analysis tools to obtain quantitative information about combustion performance in terms of combustion dynamics, pollutant formation...
This group carries out activities related to performance analysis, simulation, emulation, and development of new libraries for emerging architectures. The group develops tools and models to monitor the use of resources and measure the performance in parallel and distributed HPC applications. These performance analysis tools provide detailed analysis capabilities to make it...
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a major public health problem, affecting 55 million European citizens. T2D ensues in individuals who develop a progressive pancreatic beta cell failure. T2D probably comprises a heterogeneous group of diseases. A new molecular taxonomy of T2D is essential for the development of medical care that is predictive, preventive and personalized. Currently...
The overall objective of the Next Generation I/O Project (NEXTGenIO) is to design and prototype a new, scalable, high-performance, energy efficient computing platform designed to address the challenge of delivering scalable I/O performance to applications at the Exascale. It will achieve this using highly innovative, non-volatile, dual in-line memory modules (NV-DIMMs). These...
To maximise the scientific output of a high-performance computing system, different stakeholders pursue different strategies. While individual application developers are trying to shorten the time to solution by optimising their codes, system administrators are tuning the configuration of the overall system to increase its throughput. Yet, the complexity of today’s...
The increasing demand for functionality in current and future real-time embedded systems is driving an increase in performance of processors. However at the same time, in developing safety-related real-time embedded systems, there is a need to prove that the timing requirements are met. Multi-core processors are increasingly being considered as the solution to achieve the...
