Research

The Chair applied computer science II deals with the principles, technology and programming of parallel and distributed systems.

Research goal:

• to simplify the programming of various complex systems, so that the user can concentrate on the properties of the algorithms and calculations, while the software system realizes the efficient use on the respective platform.

Research priorities are:

• on the development of new and efficient implementation of known parallel algorithms from the field of scientific computing,
• the development of new programming models for the realization of adaptive, scalable, and flexible deployments, scheduling and load balancing methods and
• the development of programming environments and software libraries that provide the user with these approaches with several levels of abstraction.
