Introduction

World-wide supercomputing facilities have enabled countries in their S&T capabilities in many areas such as weather prediction, real time tracking of natural phenomenon, gene sequencing, discovery of new life saving drugs, designing vehicles, aeroplanes, massive structures like high rise buildings and bridges, infrastructure, discovery and extraction of new energy sources including oil, natural gas and so on. The supercomputing facilities aims to further such capabilities beyond current levels.

The GUJCOST supercomputer facility aims to provide capacity building among students and faculties with advanced technologies to perform high-end computations for scientific, engineering and academic programs to address and catalyze the research using modelling, simulation and data analysis. The facility will also help in promoting research by integrating leading-edge emerging technologies at the grass root level.

Objective

1. Create a pool of skilled professionals for pursuing research and development in the area of High-Performance Computing (HPC) and promote the use of HPC systems and parallel programming in several application domain areas.

2. Creating employment opportunity students / researchers for R&D organization and industry.

3. Disseminating advanced computing techniques useful in many research academic semester projects and Ph.D. thesis.

4. Introduction of HPC and Deep Learning as a subject in the academic/engineering the curriculum at UG/PG level.

5. Providing a base of Supercomputing expertise to develop interdisciplinary computational science and deep learning degree programs.

6. Help professor and faculty members in developing funding proposals for High-Performance Computing(HPC) and Deep Learning (DL) research-based projects,providing not only a set of resources to list in proposals but also expertise on emerging issues that are of interest to funding agencies.

7. Encouraging possibilities of various national and international labs for joint research in High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Deep Learning (DL) arena.
