Welcome to the High Performance Computing Group at the University of Basel!

We are a Computer Science research group in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the Faculty of Science at the University of Basel, Switzerland. Our work focuses on advancing and democratizing parallel and distributed computing addressing real-world challenges, from optimizing supercomputing performance to advancing compute/data-intensive applications.

At the heart of our research is High Performance Computing (HPC) which involves the use of multiple computing resources working in parallel to solve complex problems (from computational science, industry, society) quickly and efficiently. HPC systems range from tiny embedded devices and sensors to the world’s most powerful supercomputers, and span everything from hardware and system software to application and services. 

What We Do

Our research aims to understand and improve the performance, reliability, sustainability, and usability of HPC applications and systems. We study the interaction between software, systems, and users to optimize the user of modern computing infrastructures, including large-scale HPC and data centers. 

More than performance: we compute for discovery!

We are particularly interested in: 

• Performance engineering of parallel and distributed applications and systems
• Efficient resource scheduling and utilization
• Application and system co-design
• Sustainable computing and system operation
