HPC and mobile computing

Participant : François Bodin.

We have initiated a research action on the interaction between mobile computing and HPC. We aim at studying data representation linked to parallel programming in heterogeneous systems. In particular, we want to explore energy tradeoffs when changing hardware resources from a light mobile platform to remote execution in a datacenter.

As a test case, we are developing an application for inventorying art pieces in the public domain. This is done in collaboration with University of Rennes 2. This test case is a pluridisplinary collaboration whose goal for University of Rennes 2 is to study how mobile computing can contribute to art studies and dissemination.
