Remaining at the forefront of computational research requires an ability to adapt to the ever changing landscape in high performance computing. Ever expanding efforts to keep pace with the evolution in HPC hardware and software represent unique challenges that only a handful of enabling technology researchers are capable of addressing successfully. Our cutting-edge research efforts of the past have provided the foundation for addressing these challenges and serve as catalysts for success in our ever growing research portfolio. Our vision, our expertise, our determination, and our track record continue to position ICL as a leader in academic research.

What originally began 19 years ago as in-depth investigation of the numerical libraries that encode the use of linear algebra in software, our research portfolio has grown extensively. We have evolved and expanded our research agenda to accomodate the aforementioned evolution of the HPC community. We now include work in high performance and distributed computing. As we have gained a solid understanding of the challenges presented in these domains, we have further expanded our research to include work in performance analysis and benchmarking, as well as asset management, for high-end computers.

Demonstrating the range and diversity of our research, we will be engaged in more than 20 significant research projects during 2008-2009 across our main areas of focus: numerical linear algebra, high performance distributed computing, performance analysis and benchmarking, asset management. Below are links to the projects and other reseach efforts that we are involved in. These are broken down into our four main focus areas - numerical libraries, high performance distributed computing, performance evaluation and benchmarking, and asset management.
