The objective of the TFM is the analysis, design, implementation and validation
of a project, carried out individually, related to High Performance Computing and in which some of the competences acquired are emphasized. It can be developed in a company or entity with proven experience in R&D projects, being co-supervised by a professional in the field. In any case, the project must integrate innovation components that go beyond the mere parallelization of an application. The TFM must promote the contribution of added value by the student in innovative projects, and its direct relationship with the labor market or with some aspect of research.
The objective of the Final Master's Project (TFM) is to introduce the student to a research or development topic with concrete and achievable objectives in a short space of time. Upon completion of the work, the student will be able to:
On the cognitive plane:
- Integrate the knowledge acquired to apply them to a specific research or development work.
On the subjective level:
- Present and defend the results of the work in front of a specialized audience.
Analysis, design, implementation and validation of a project related to High Performance Computing.
The work will consist in the study of a research and/or development subject in the field of HPC with concrete objectives achievable in a short space of time.
For its development two options will be available:
a) The realization linked to a practice developed in the period of professional practices in institutions or companies.
b) The independent realization of these practices, which typically allow the student to be introduced in a practical way in a research work in any of the lines of the groups to which the teaching team belongs.
In any case, at the end of the work the student must present a final report and defend the work before a specialized commission.
Given the peculiarities of this subject, it is impossible to specify a general bibliography valid for all the TFMs that will be developed. The specific bibliography of each project will be specified in each of the different project proposals approved by the Academic Committee of the master.

Contingency plan:
Adaptation of the methodology to Scenarios 2 and 3
The TFM tutoring activities may be presential and/or virtual in scenario 2 and, in scenario 3, they will be virtual through MS Teams or other telematic tools available to teachers and students.
Adaptation of the evaluation system to Scenarios 2 and 3
In scenario 2, the defense of the TFM will be carried out by the student in person or by telematic means if necessary.
In scenario 3, the defense of the TFM will be carried out by the student by telematic means.
For cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests will apply the provisions of the "Normativa de avaliación do rendemento académico dos/das estudantes e de revisión de cualificacións”.
