High Performance Computing

High-Performance Computing aims to use the hardware at hand in the most efficient way which is crucial for calculations that require large processing power and especially for applications where processing time is of vital importance. The changes in the structures of computer clusters and communication networks, multi-core processor architectures and additional accelerators such as graphics processing units and the performance variations due to these hardware complexity require the development of innovative parallel methods to be run on different hardware for high-performance big data analysis.
