A Glass Half Full: Using Programmable Hardware Accelerators in Analytical Databases

Event in progress

June 5, 2019

Even though there have been a large number of proposals to
accelerate databases using specialized hardware, often the opinion of the community is pessimistic: the performance and energy efficiency benefits of specialization are seen to be outweighed by the limitations of the proposed solutions and the additional complexity of including specialized hardware, such as field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), in servers.

25th MEETING OF THE EUROPEAN ETSI QKD HOSTED BY THE CCS

Last 3rd and 4th of December 2018, the Center for Computational Simulation (CCS) hosted the 25th meeting of European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM).

Quantum Flagship Kick-off

The 3rd European FET Flagship was launched in Vienna last 29th of October 2018, the Quantum Flagship. The project will last 10 years and counts with a budget of 1.000 million euros. The CCS’ Director, Vicente Martín and his research team will take part in this project.
