Åbo Akademi – High-Performance Computing and Communication Laboratory
Åbo Akademi High-Performance Computing and Communication Laboratory conducts research in both software and hardware related issues in high performance computing. Main interests include parallel programming, code optimization and scientific applications of high performance computing. The focus of our studies is on the performance of computer systems, especially very large parallel systems. A second line of research is in algorithms for computer graphics.
SPAG – Signal Processing Algorithm Group
The Signal Processing Algorithm Group (SPAG) is the leading group in signal processing and digital systems design in Finland. It has been elected an Academy of Finland Centre of Excellence for 2006-2011.
The emerging technologies are vastly increasing the capabilities of individuals to interact with the surrounding world in a multimodal way. The future of signal processing lies in developing techniques that enable natural interaction using those modalities that are most natural for a human. The key to success, however, is in combining new visions with strong theoretical foundations and understanding the needs of practical implementations.
Institute of Medical Technology – Bioinformatics Group
The aim of the Bioinformatics group is to understand biological and medical phenomena in structural, mechanical and systems level by applying bioinformatics tools and applications. Their major research interests are identification of pathogenic variations and mutations, structural bases of diseases, phenotype-genotype-correlations in diseases, protein structure-function-correlations, primary immunodeficiencies, technology for mutation data presentation and distribution, immunome, systems biology – especially in relation to human diseases, large scale data analysis.
CERN
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is one of the world’s largest and most respected centres for scientific research. Its business is fundamental physics, finding out what the Universe is made of and how it works. At CERN, the world’s largest and most complex scientific instruments are used to study the basic constituents of matter — the fundamental particles. By studying what happens when these particles collide, physicists learn about the laws of Nature.
Finnish Centre of Excellence in Inverse Problems Research
The Finnish Centre of Excellence in Inverse Problems is internationally recognized as the world’s leading unit in the field. It specializes in the theory, implementation and application of inversion methods. The objective is to create fundamentally new, efficient, and theoretically sound solutions to practical inverse problems, especially in following application areas: medical imaging, geophysics and space research, remote sensing and modelling in enviromental and climate research.
Model IT
Model IT Model offers advisory services, tailored solutions and products that are easy to implement. For Banking, Model IT offers easy and quick solutions for expanding functionality of existing systems. Model IT’s focus areas are risk management, investment performance measurement, IFRS accounting, capital adequacy planning and asset management.
Dyalog
Dyalog is the most widely used APL development platform available. It is used in research and business applications where it is important to integrate domain experts in the software development process. Dyalog allows rapid prototyping of both simple and complex processes, and is especially strong where solutions have an analytical or mathematical component. Without recoding, these solutions can be used to power secure, high performance solutions with thousands of simultaneous users.
