Peter Sanders receives an European Reasearch Council's Advanced Grant for his project "ScAlBox – Engineering Scalable Algorithms for the Basic Toolbox". The ERC selects and funds the very best, creative researchers once a year to run projects based in Europe. In his project "ScAlBox" the computer scientist Peter Sanders develops basic computing tools for many different applications at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Department of Informatics. The project's goal is to provide algorithms and software libraries that can handle very large amounts of data and can be executed on millions of processors working in parallel.
