Highlights

DFCTI was established in 2011 around a team of IT scientists and computational physicists dedicated to develop a state-of-the-art computer infrastructure for demanding numerical simulations. The department continues the institute's long tradition in advanced computing that started in 1956, when the first Romanian computer (CIFA-1) was built in the premises of the institute.

Infrastructure

DFCTI hosts, develops and administrates one of the most important e-infrastructures in the country, that includes HPC, HTC and cloud computing facilities dedicated to the support of the research community within IFIN-HH and of the large scale international collaborations in which the institute takes part.

R&D topics

Nonlinear dynamics in Bose-Einstein condensates
Physical properties of nanosystems
HPC for applications in nuclear and particle physics
Molecular dynamics simulations of biomolecules
High throughput, high performance and cloud computing technology

International collaborations

The DFCTI team participated in numerous international R&D and infrastructure FP6/FP7/H2020 projects on Grid, HPC and Cloud, such as EGEE, SEE-GRID, HP-SEE or EOSC-hub. The staff currently conducts scientific collaborations with:

Worlwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG), CERN
EGI - Advanced Computing for Research
Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), Dubna, Russian Federation
Institute of Physics Belgrade, Serbia
Skopje University, FYR of Macedonia
