Project description
Scalable algorithms for parallel computing
The digital revolution has profoundly changed science, engineering and everyday life. Computer applications process continuously increasing data volumes with ever more complex algorithms. Progress is in danger of reaching its limits: scalability of the programmes – their capacity to grow with their tasks – represents a major challenge. To solve bigger problems, many processors have to be used in parallel. The EU-funded ScAlBox project will work on algorithms and software libraries for basic software components that can be used in various ways and scaled to datasets of any size and millions of processors operating in parallel. Such components include searching, sorting, queueing administration, work distribution to parallel processors and communication between processes. This will also include processing complex relations between a large numbers of objects (graphs).
