Group

  1. Strongly recommend to have 3 or 4 students in each group (we have 24 students).
  2. It is also allowed to work alone or as a pair (2 students).
  3. If you cannot find/make a group for you, but want to join a group, please email me.

Topic

  1. Your research topic + HPC
    • If you or your group member is working on a specific research project and if you have a C++/Python/Matlab code, you can parallelize your code, run it using HPC system, and get some benefits.
  2. Any published work + your benchmark or your new idea or your analysis + HPC
    • Visit conference sites (SC, IPDPS, PPpPP, JSSPP) or journals (IEEE TPDS, ACM TOPC, JPDC, PC, IJPP), pick a paper (if the paper provide a dataset, it would be great), re-do or benchmark, so do anything what you want using HPC, and report it.
  3. Any challenge in CAMDA 2020. If you select metagenomic challenge, I can help you more.
  4. Any challenge in kaggle using HPC.
  5. Solve Bioinformatics Contest 2019. This is good for students who want do the project individually and improve programming skills.
  6. Review paper for any specific topic (OpenMP, MPI, CUDA, Apache Spark, Cloud, and so on) and relative researches.
