- Virgil Eclogues
I am a senior researcher at PSNC1 specialising in high-performance and distributed computing, large-scale scientific infrastructures, and advanced computational
platforms supporting data- and compute-intensive research. My work focuses on bridging foundational systems research with practical, scalable solutions for modern
scientific challenges. You can reach me at LinkedIn2.
Biography
I hold an M.Sc. in Computer Science (Parallel and Distributed Computation) and a Ph.D. in Computing Science from the Poznań University of Technology2.
My early research addressed scheduling algorithms and divisible load theory for parallel and distributed environments, providing a strong methodological basis
for later work in high-performance computing systems.
Over more than two decades at PSNC, I have contributed to the design, development, and operation of national and European research infrastructures.
I have held leading roles in numerous EU-funded and national projects, acting as project coordinator, work-package leader, deputy project manager,
and quality manager. My responsibilities have spanned technical research, infrastructure integration, coordination of multidisciplinary teams, and quality
assurance of complex collaborative projects.
In recent years, my research has increasingly focused on large-scale environmental simulations, coupled multi-model workflows, and digital twins addressing
global challenges. I am particularly interested in the convergence of high-performance computing, high-performance data analytics, and AI, as well as in sustainable
and energy-aware computing infrastructures. My work enables reliable, efficient, and scalable computational platforms that support advanced scientific
research and long-term infrastructure impact.
Research Interests
High-performance and distributed computing systems
Workload scheduling and performance optimisation
Energy-aware and sustainable HPC infrastructures
Scalability, profiling, and benchmarking of large-scale applications
Workflow-based and virtual laboratory environments
HPC-HPDA-AI convergence
Large-scale environmental simulations and digital twins
Current Research Focus
My current research concentrates on enabling efficient and scalable execution of complex simulations on modern HPC architectures, with particular emphasis
on environmental and global-challenge applications. This includes performance and energy trade-off analysis, coupling of simulation models with data analytics
workflows, and operational aspects of deploying digital twins on production-level research infrastructures.
Projects & Roles (Selected)
Project coordinator and work-package leader in multiple European and national research projects in HPC and e-infrastructures
Contributor to Centres of Excellence activities in High Performance Computing
Responsible for quality management, infrastructure integration, and cross-partner coordination in large collaborative projects
