Welcome! to the High Performance Cloud Computing research laboratory (HPCC Lab) web page.
The lab is currently (since 2023) affiliated with the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, at the University of North Texas (UNT). The lab director, Dr. Mohsen Amini, originally founded HPCC Lab in 2016 at University of Louisiana Lafayette. The lab has, so far, graduated more than 35 research scholars including postdocs, PhD students, Master’s students, visitors, interns, in addition to several undergraduate students.
In our vision, the world has experienced a paradigm shift over the past decade: from the “communication everywhere” to the “computation everywhere” and “intelligence everywhere”. The paradigm shift has been enabled through a spectrum of distributed computing systems: from IoT and Edge devices to Fog and Cloud Computing systems. This paradigm shift, along with the accelerated research on AI and Machine Learning, is leading to the emergence of the new generation of Cloud Computing systems that we call it Cloud 2.0.
Accordingly, our mission at the HPCC lab is to innovate at the forefront of scientific discovery and help in the development of Cloud 2.0 to improve the quality of human life and provide human beings a more mature life experience! The scope of our research encompasses all aspects of Cloud 2.0—including CloudAI, domain-specific clouds, heterogeneous computing, and fluid computing (both across edge-to-cloud and multi-cloud).
