高性能计算研究院 IHPC corporate brochure

Institute of High PerformanceComputingcoveries!Powering Dis Powering Discoveries!The Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) was established in April 1998 to provide leadership in high performance computing as a strategic resource for scientific inquiry and industry development.Its mission is to advance science and technology, and develop leading edge applications through high performance computing and computational science. Supported by the Agency for Science, Technology and Research through its Science and Engineering Research Council, IHPC seeks to power discoveries and support innovative, leading-edge research through the use of advanced methodologies, techniques and new tools in modelling, simulation and visualisation. There are 5 research departments in IHPC. Each department has various capability groups working to offer the listed technological and industry-related expertise.Research DepartmentsComputing ScienceHigh Performance ComputingElectronics & PhotonicsElectrodynamicsEngineeringMechanicsEngineering SystemsFluidDynamicsMultiphase FlowMaterials Science & EngineeringDefectsIHPCIndependentInvestigatorshipDistributed ComputingCross-disciplinary Data-intensive AnalyticsGeometrical ModellingRadio Frequency EngineeringNano SystemsFluid Structure IntegrationInterfacesLightwave EngineeringSoft MatterEnvironmental ModellingOptics & TransportPlasmonics & NanointegrationBiophysicsApplied ThermodynamicsComputational Social CognitionWith a team of highly qualified and experienced research staff, IHPC spearheads the use of advanced computational techniques to develop models for analysis and solutions for complex engineering and scientific problems.

It is a mechanism to provide opportunities and incentives for junior IHPC researchers to grow and excel through the development and pursuit of a fully independent scientific research programme and to attain high visibility and international recognition in the scientific and/or engineering research community. To achieve this goal, the I³ Department awards intramural funding to support scientist-defined and -led original research projects within the scope of high performance computing and computational science/engineering. The investigatorship projects are funded for three years, comprise administrative support and mentoring, and are evaluated annually.Materials Science & Engineering Department•󰅩To󰅩predict,󰅩explore󰅩and󰅩understand󰅩the󰅩fundamental󰅩properties and structure of materials.•󰅩To󰅩develop󰅩new󰅩materials󰅩using󰅩newly󰅩developed󰅩methodologies.•󰅩To󰅩perform󰅩essential󰅩materials󰅩science󰅩research󰅩using󰅩these󰅩technologies:- atomistic modelling- molecular simulations- material informatics1󰅩Fusionopolis󰅩Way,󰅩#16-16󰅩Connexis󰅩North,󰅩Singapore󰅩138632Tel:󰅩+65󰅩6419󰅩1111󰅩󰅩󰅩Fax:󰅩+65󰅩6463󰅩0200󰅩󰅩󰅩 www.ihpc.a-star.edu.sgMar 2011
