High Performance Computing: A Reality at Central-India

Supercomputers were once a resource limited to major universities and government agencies with huge funds at their disposal. Thus, the high costs of commercial parallel computing hardware and software place them beyond the reach of the researcher & students of many colleges and universities. Today, low-cost commodity hardware, free operating systems such as Linux, and faster, lower cost networking make it possible for institutions at all levels to provide supercomputing resources to their researchers. The article summarize design & performance information of the High Performance Computing (HPC) Laboratory that is builted up in Shankrachariya College of Engineering & Technology department of applied physics.
