Welcome to the CNC
The CNC is an interdisciplinary research group which was
established in 1990 and is based in the
School of Computer
Science at the
University of Manchester. We form part of the School's
Software Systems Group. Our research is application-motivated
with a mission to investigate techniques, and develop associated
tools, for support of high performance computing with a focus
on shared parallel resources.
Research
Our research is in the areas of parallelisation and performance
tuning of performance-critical applications (performance
engineering) and the flexible composition and deployment of
coupled models.
Software
The CNC is developing the
Bespoke Framework Generator (BFG) Coupling System.
