HIGH PERFORMANCE DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING

The High Performance Distributed Computing (HPDC) group at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam studies programming environments for large-scale distributed systems, hand in hand with current technology and real-world applications. Technology has changed over the years from cluster computers, to grids, clouds, hybrid systems with many-core accelerators, mobile systems, sensors, and Internet-of-Things. Applications from numerous domains have been addressed over the years, including search algorithms, model checking, multimedia, semantic web, bioinformatics, astronomy, climate modelling, digital forensics, e-health, and machine learning... The group produced well-known programming environments such as Orca, MagPIe, Ibis, JavaGAT, and WebPIE. Current programming systems include Swan (smartphone-based sensors and Internet-of-Things), MCL/Cashmere (programming heterogeneous many-core systems), and VLog (a high-performance Datalog engine).
