What we do

The BigHPC project aims at improving the management of HPC data centers and Big Data applications supported by these with the following novel features:

Monitoring

Efficient Monitoring of Large-Scale HPC Infrastructures

Virtualization

Improved Resource Isolation and Usage Through Virtualization Techniques

Software-Defined Storage

Improved End-to-End Storage Performance for Data-Centric Workloads

A Management Framework for Consolidated Big Data and HPC

BigHPC will simplify the management of HPC infrastructures supporting Big Data and parallel computing applications. The project will have a direct impact on science, industry and society, by accelerating scientific breakthroughs in different fields and increasing the competitiveness of companies through better data analysis and improved decision-support processes.
