Research: Groups
The research activity of the department members is focused on several areas:
- Parallel computing in high-performance architectures
- Parallel languages and programming/execution models
- Parallel compilers and optimization of parallel programs
- Distributed architectures
- Heterogeneous architectures
- Application specific architectures
- Computer arithmetic
- Image and video processing
- Audiovisual information systems
- Parallel simulation of physical systems
- Global optimization methods
- Bioinformatics
These areas are closely inter-related, which is reflected in the large number of joint publications and that the majority of research funding is shared.
Researchers in the department establish collaborative groups to conduct their research activities.
