Section: Application Domains

Overview

The Avalon team targets applications with large computing and/or data storage needs, which are yet difficult to program and maintain while achieving performance. Those applications can be parallel and/or distributed applications. It is typically the case of large simulations and/or code coupling applications from “classical” computational problems such as climate forecasting or cosmology. The team also deals with bioinformatics as they raise some interesting research issues linked to data management. For example, some of such applications rely on MapReduce algorithmic skeletons.
