The Gelato Federation is a worldwide consortium of research organizations who come together as open-source suppliers and users of Itanium Linux technology and solutions. Gelato offers members the opportunity to take a leading role in the worldwide development and promulgation of Linux on Itanium, which will define the next generation of high-performance computing.

 UPRM brings to Gelato expertise in the areas of grid software and tools, scalability work, and porting application libraries. Gelato related activities at UPRM will be led by the PDC Group (Parallel and Distributed Computing Laboratory). The PDC Group performs research in the design, implementation, and efficiency measurements of parallel algorithms. It also addresses research issues related to parallel and distributed computing systems with an emphasis in high performance cluster computing and Grid computing.
