ARCOS
The ARCOS research group is composed of three professors, six associate professors, and fifteen PhD students. Main research lines of the group include hardware and software systems in the areas of real-time and embedded systems and high-performance computing, with more focus on file systems for HPC, data-intensive computing, and programming models for HPC. The group members has strong experience in research and development in large-scale HPC systems and they keep a strong international cooperation. The group leader, Prof. Jesus Carretero, has a research and teaching experience of almost 30 years and he is senior member of IEEE. ARCOS research group has a strong activity in research projects. In the last 5 years, they have coordinated 7 EU projects and 5 national competitive projects.

The group has also a strong involvement in projects with companies. As a result of this cooperation, they have issued 4 software licenses.
ARCOS group is highly involved in high quality training in PhD programs, masters, and research projects. The PhD students are included in an excellence training plan, including research training, performance indicators for dissemination, and they are pushed to international cooperation, as shown below. As a result of this effort, we have assessed many international thesis in the last years, the PhD students of the group have got 4 IBM PhD Grants (competitive to world level) and the awards in 2018 and 2019 of the “Premios de Informática, en la modalidad jóvenes informáticos, de la Sociedad Científica Informática de España (SCIE) y la Fundación BBVA”, which recognizes the best young PhDs in Computer Science and Engineering in Spain, and several HPC Europe grants.
