HIPERSOFT

Rice University established the Center for High Performance Software Research (HiPerSoft) in October 1998. The Center's goal is to foster research on the design and implementation of software critical to the usability of high performance computer systems. Over the past decade, the importance of high performance computing (HPC) to our nation has increased substantially. Research in this area has been interdisciplinary and has been central to many of the National and Grand Challenges established by the federal government. Federal funding for HPC research, even in the government's budget crisis of a few years ago, has remained a high priority. Based on the internationally recognized success of CRPC, Rice is a leader in HPC research and is poised to take on new challenges as they arise in the field. HiPerSoft is the successor to the Center for Research on Parallel Computation (CRPC), an eleven year effort at Rice that has focused on algorithms and software needed to make parallel computing..
