Major Research Activities

The High-Performance Computing and Software Laboratory at the University of Texas at San Antonio was established in early 1993. It has been equipped with sufficient resources to allow extensive study of high-performance computing for systems and scientific applications. This laboratory is supporting a variety of research projects investigating both the fundamental nature of high-performance computing and its application to problems of importance in software development. The principal research efforts are:

Developing efficient algorithms and methods for solving large-scale real-world scientific applications on various high performance computing facilities;

Studying and evaluating parallel system performance for efficient architecture design and scientific program implementations;

Building software visualization tools and environment for high performance scientific applications and performance evaluation; and

Addressing parallel computing and system issues of heterogeneous Networks of Workstations (NOW).
