AboutAbout the lab
Building computing infrastructure and drawing out its performance
The Advanced High-Performance Computing Infrastructure Systems Lab (Date Lab) conducts research and development on computing infrastructure, including supercomputers.
Computing infrastructure is the foundation for large-scale computation such as AI development and numerical simulation.
The lab studies how to build computing infrastructure, how to draw out the maximum performance of the infrastructure from applications, and how to bridge the infrastructure and applications.
The lab is housed at the D3 Center of Osaka University and is a cooperating lab of the Graduate School of Information Science and Technology and the School of Engineering.
