Description
The RDLAB of the UPC Department of Computer Science is a high performance computing (HPC) environment, with over 1,600 CPU cores, 200 TB of data and nodes with GPU Nvidia CUDA. An adaptive cloud environment for research and technology transfer projects (databases, repositories, web services, etc.). All of our services use free software and are operated by university staff.
The aim of the facility is in provide a safe and professional environment of ICT support for research and technology transfer in the areas of the sciences (AI, biotechnologies, simulations, graphics, etc.).
Summary of Research Services
The Research and Development lab (RDLAB) endeavours to enhance the research and technology transfer processes through a second to none IT support and services. We engage with your research because:
• We understand the research timings, needs and their constraints.
• Research is not a one size fits all business. We are aware of your research scope, tailoring our services and support.
• We are involved in your projects, teaming with you in order to provide the best solution.
• We provide individual technology consulting services for researchers, from the initial assessment of their proposals and tendering procedures, to the delivery of results.
