Welcome to the home page for the HiPIC (High-Performance Information Computing Center), so called Big Data AI Center, at Computer Information Systems Department of California State University, Los Angeles

Who We Are

The HiPIC center (BigDAI: Big Data AI Center) is to research the technical and educational issues in the Information of Business, Engineering and Scientific Application fields such as Data and Predictive Analysis using Big Data (Hadoop, Hive, Pig, Spark, Deep Learning TensorFlow, IoT), parallel/distributed computing, BI (Machine Learning, Data Mining), Visualization, e-Business Architecture and Language, and Bioinformatics etc. under the direction of  Dr. Jongwook Woo. It was founded by Prof Jongwook Woo since 2003 and many graduate students and engineers have been working on projects.

The HiPIC center has been collaborating with Big Data, BI, and Cloud computing companies such as IBM, Databricks,Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, Hortonworks, Cloudera, SAP,  Qlik, Tableau, Wolfram, SAS, Oracle.
