State Key Laboratory Co-founded by Shanghai and the Ministry of Education, Shanghai Key Laboratory of Scalable Computing & System is affiliated to the key national discipline computer science and technology of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Based on applied basic research, guided by major national demand, laboratory actively carry out researches and application transformations of dynamic, autonomic and scalable computing theory, technology and system, which is based on the network and can meet the growing demand in application, size, data, software, safety and reliability, etc. The director of the laboratory is Prof. Guan Haibing, the director of the academic committee is academician He Jifeng, and the deputy directors are academician Mei Hong and Prof. Ni Mingxuan.

The scalability is that the service quality of computing system can realize linear or approximate linear increase as the adding of the hardware and software systems, under a certain application background. Laboratory focuses on efficient scalable computing, data storage and analysis, scalable network, high reliable security mechanism. The scalable computing and system has positive significance in promoting the fundamental research of computer architecture, computer software and theory and computer application.
