High Performance Computing

The focus of the NRC Institute for Information Technology (NRC-IIT) program in High Performance Computing is in the area of grid computing; that is, the exploitation of a varied set of networked computing resources including computers, storage and graphics devices.

More specifically, researchers seek to investigate how scientific applications can effectively use the resources of a grid, while hiding the underlying complexity. Initial research results should have a positive impact in the area of scientific endeavors and in the improved use of human and computational resources, through better coordination and integration of effort.

NRC-IIT’s research in advanced high performance computing is collaborative, with projects being conducted with partners in other NRC institutes and national public organizations, as well as in the international community.
