Software Research
Over the past decade, the importance of high computing to the world has increased substantially. With this increase, many software research companies are poised to take on new challenges as and when required. These companies are focusing on algorithms and software that are needed to make parallel computing truly usable for science and engineering applications. Research is being done on the following topics:
• Software for future generation parallel computers
• Software for distributed heterogeneous computers
• Compiler assisted memory hierarchy management
• Software for compilation of Java on high performance computers
• tools to support the construction of correct, efficient programs
• problem solving environments
• High performance software libraries
Many companies are breaking new grounds in the field of software research and development. Research is being carried out on Data-Intensive Computing, Operating Systems; Mobile Computing Group Management, Reputation, Tagging, and Games; Security and Cell Phones, Root Kits, Hypervisors, SCADA Systems; Location Awareness; and 3-D Immersive Technology.
