Advanced Computing

Why this matter?

AI and simulation demand scale but must become efficient and sustainable. Phase IV advances greener AI and scientific computing using new hardware and algorithms.

Priority Research Topics (PRTs)

• Exploit low‑precision hardware built for AI in scientific computing
• Greener, more efficient, and sustainable AI tools
• Translational AI research across domains
• Future computing paradigms (e.g., quantum‑informed workflows)
  
  

Joint Strengths: Portugal × UT Austin

Portugal’s HPC assets and digital capacity meet UT Austin’s Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC), enabling world‑class performance with a sustainability lens.

Use Cases & Early Directions

• Energy‑aware AI for climate, health, and mobility
  
• Domain‑specific AI toolchains for industry and public services
  
• New solver stacks that leverage AI hardware for science
  
• Next‑gen computing models to reduce time‑to‑insight
