Vicente Blanco holds a PhD in Physical Sciences and is a professor of Computer Engineering at the University of La Laguna, specializing in high-performance computing (HPC) and computing for the web and the cloud. His research includes application performance analysis and energy consumption on different processor architectures. He has studied the behavior of codes and applications on a wide variety of architectures, both in HPC systems (multicore or GPUs) and special-purpose architectures for mobile devices and IoT. He is currently interested in Edge Computing, where techniques from the fields of HPC and AI can be applied to low-power devices that are closer to the end-users of cloud applications.
In 2000, he joined the University of La Laguna as an Associate Professor, teaching in the Computer Engineering Department. He is assigned to the Department of Statistics, Operations Research, and Computing in the area of Computer Languages and Systems, and within it to the ULL Parallelism Group, led by Dr. Casiano Rodríguez León. After completing his doctoral thesis, he assumed responsibilities in doctoral theses supervision (two co-supervisions), postgraduate teaching, and research project management. He then collaborated with the High Performance Computing research group, which he currently coordinates. He is also the Director of the Master's Degree in Computer Engineering.
His research work has remained linked to High-Performance Computing, focusing on the topics of Performance Analysis and Energy Efficiency, publishing papers in JCR-indexed journals, primarily in the "Computer Science" categories. Some of these journals are benchmarks in the field of High-Performance Computing, such as "IEEE Trans. on Parallel and Distributed Computing," "Parallel Computing," and "Supercomputing," and have high impact factors compared to parallel computing-oriented journals listed in the JCR. However, in this research field, important conferences (EuroPar, ICCS, IPDPS, and EuroPMV/MPI, with eight Class 1-2 publications in GII-GRIN-SCIE) are an important vehicle for disseminating high-quality research. His total number of contributions in JCR/SJR is 25, of which one is Q1, six are Q2, and nine are Q3. She has presented more than 80 conference papers, of which more than 30 are international. Her h-indexes are 7 (Publons), 9 (Scopus), and 14 (Google Scholar). She has held four research six-year terms, the most recent being obtained in 2021.
