General description O TFM ten como obxectivo principal a análise, deseño, implementación e validación
dun proxecto, realizado de forma individual, relacionado coa Computación de Altas Prestacións e no que se salienten algunhas das competencias adquiridas. Poderase desenvolver nunha empresa ou entidade con acreditada experiencia en proxectos de I+D+i, sendo cotutelado por un profesional do ámbito. O proxecto debe integrar en calquera caso compoñentes de innovación que vaian máis aló da mera paralelización dunha aplicación. O TFM debe promover a achega de valor engadido por parte do estudante en proxectos innovadores, e a súa relación directa co mercado de traballo ou con algún aspecto de investigación.

Topic Sub-topic
Analysis, design, implementation and validation of a project related to High Performance Computing.

The work will consist in the study of a research and/or development subject in the field of HPC with concrete objectives achievable in a short space of time.
For its development two options will be available:
a) The realization linked to a practice developed in the period of professional practices in institutions or companies.
b) The independent realization of these practices, which typically allow the student to be introduced in a practical way in a research work in any of the lines of the groups to which the teaching team belongs.

In any case, at the end of the work the student must present a final report and defend the work before a specialized commission. 		.

Assessment comments

Sources of information
Basic

Given the peculiarities of this subject, it is impossible to specify a general bibliography valid for all the TFMs that will be developed. The specific bibliography of each project will be specified in each of the different project proposals approved by the Academic Committee of the master.
