Context And Mission
The Accelerators and Communications for HPC Group leads cutting-edge research and development around accelerators/coprocessors in HPC and high-performance networking. We collaborate closely with the major vendors in the topic for HPC: NVIDIA and Intel. We organize locally international events such as the PUMPS Summer School, PATC Courses on CUDA/OpenACC, and annual hackathons, and collaborate in the organization of related international conferences and workshops such as SC, IEEE Cluster, or AsHES.
The group has been recently awarded one of the prestigious ERC Consolidator Grants:
While we engage in permanent contracts, candidates planning to stay only for their postdoctoral stage are also welcome. This ERC project is only the entry point - expectations are to develop career in different projects.
