Hasso Plattner Institute's Research Lab Opens Its Doors to Scientists From All Over the World
POTSDAM, Germany, August 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) invites scientists from all over the world to apply for
use of its state-of-the-art research lab "Future SOC Lab". Researchers are invited to
submit project proposals based on access to the high performance hard and software
provided by HPI. Project selection is carried out by a steering committee led by HPI
Director, Prof. Christoph Meinel and made up of representatives from the industry partners
EMC, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard and SAP, as well as other HPI scientists. The results of the
project selection will be announced at the "Future SOC Lab Day" on September 24th. Details
for proposal submission at http://www.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/futuresoclabday.
Founded in June 2010, the HPI Future SOC Lab provides together with its international
industry partners a high performance infrastructure for academic research, something
usually only found at large enterprises. "At HPI we have access to an experimental base
that can rarely be financed in the university environment. This makes research possible
that focuses on innovative concepts for IT systems of the future outside of the otherwise
closed industrial laboratories," said Prof. Andreas Polze, head of the HPI research group
Operating Systems and Middleware. Scientists from universities as well as non-academic
research institutes are invited to analyze highly complex IT systems and develop new
ideas, data structures and algorithms in the HPI Future SOC Lab. The research may be
followed up through the practical testing phase, according to Polze, who is also spokesman
for the HPI Research School.
HPI's modern high-performance systems have a 1000 core cluster, an immense memory
capacity in the terabyte range and large SSD-based storage systems. Details at
