Welcome to the CNC
The CNC is an interdisciplinary research group based in the
School of Computer Science
at
Manchester University.
Our research is
application-motivated with a mission to investigate techniques, and
develop associated tools, for support of high performance computing
with a focus on shared parallel resources.
The CNC was established in 1990 with foundation funding from SERC NACC. Since then the Centre has been awarded more than 4.4M pounds worth of research grants.
Our research
Our research can be divided into four main areas:
-
Parallelisation and performance tuning of performance-critical
applications (performance engineering);
-
The flexible composition and deployment of coupled models;
-
Software tools for support of the parallelisation and performance tuning processes; and
- High-performance run-time support for parallel language implementations.
