CSE - Distributed Systems for Scientific Data Analysis

In the Cooperative Computing Lab, we design software systems that enable scientific applications to scale up to thousands of nodes on high performance computing clusters.  We specialize in building large scale workflows that support large scale data analysis for the CMS physics experiment at the LHC.  A wide variety of projects are available for students to design, optimize, evaluate, and visualize large scale applications.  Our work is software intensive and students will gain experience with specification, coding, testing, and documentation in a large software repository.
