The High Performance Computing Systems Laboratory (HPCL)
Within the department of Computer Science, the High-Performance Computing Systems Laboratory (HPCL) was established in the fall of the year 2001, in an effort to promote and coordinate research activities in Network-Centric Computing Systems with a focus on research in Grid Computing and Pervasive and Mobile Computing Technologies.
At present the Laboratory carries out preeminent multidisciplinary research activities concentrating on parallel and distributed computing, cloud computing, web-scale data management, information retrieval, the semantic Web, vehicular ad hoc networks and medical applications in the area of Intensive Care.
HPCL line of work focus in the development of multidisciplinary science applications, the Vehicular Information Transfer Protocol (for dissemination in VANET networks), Traffic Modeler (graphical tool for programming microscopic traffic simulators), MinerSoft (software search engine), Online Web Robot Detection using decision trees (model for detecting crawlers in real time), gridBench (grid benchmarking system), g-Eclipse (integrated framework to access grid infrastructures), Intensive Care Grid, Intensive Care Window ( medical applications)
HPCL's Research Interests:
HPCL and Grid Computing
HPCL has participated in a number of national and European research and development Grid related projects, such as:
HPCL does much research on Grid Computing and has developed various tools like gridBench, g-Eclipse, minerSoft, Intensive Care Grid and others.
HPCL has deployed and maintains an EGEE Grid Site named CY-01-KIMON and a gLite certification testbed named CY-02-CYGRID-CERT. It also runs the Cyprus Grid Certification Authority (CyGridCA) (the top-level certification authority for Grids in Cyprus).
