Disclaimer: This is by no means an exhaustive list of the HPC projects/resources at MIT. These are the ones that I know of or able to find through google/MIT internal web search. If you know an HPC project that is not listed please email me.
| Project/Group | Goal/Focus |
| Matlab*P | Build an interactive, easy to use environment for supercomputing |
| Cilk | A language for multithreaded, parallel programming based on ANSI C |
| Project Aries | Understand the language, compiler, operating system and architectural requirements which must be satisfied in order to develop a highly programmable parallel system |
| FFTW | A fast and portable FFT library |
| Poseidon | To develop a distributed information system for ocean processes |
| Project Bayanihan | Project Bayanihan at the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science aims to explore and develop the idea of volunteer computing, which enables people to join a large parallel computation by simply visiting a Web site with an appropriate browser. |
