High Performance Computing (HPC) allows scientists and engineers to solve complex science, engineering, and business problems using applications that require high bandwidth, enhanced networking, and very high computing capabilities. Professionals who have taken this specialization possess all of the knowledge and skills required by companies and institutions with R&D centers that want to incorporate emerging technologies. This specialization fulfills the requirements for admission to the doctoral degree in Computer Architecture.
The master’s degree is taught by highly qualified professors, including leading researchers from the BSC (Barcelona Supercomputing Center), and professors with past research experience at companies like Intel, IBM, HP, Compaq and Sun Microsystems.
The activities to obtain the SIRI credits can be done in any semester of the master's degree. Consult the detail of the seminars.
You can choose five of this seven courses
Employment opportunities related to High-Performance Computing (HPC) cover computer science and engineering fields such as the following:
The admission period to start the Master program in February 2023, is open from 27 October to 13 December 2022.
The decision may be that the candidate has been admitted, or that the candidate has been rejected.
