I fully agree with S. Keshav's paper titled "How to Read a Paper" and have no further insights to offer.
A High-Performance Computing (HPC) server was installed a few years back. It was a replacement for PARAM 10000, the supercomputer that is no longer available for use. Initially, the HPC was under the Department of Computer Science. The Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology was the primary user of the HPC (mostly for simulation purposes), and so the administration decided to move it under the Central Instrumentation Facility (CIF). You need permission from the CIF to access the HPC. HPC is only available for research purposes, and you need to provide a good reason along with a proper recommendation from a professor to gain access to the HPC. The HPC is at least 20 times more powerful than the most powerful PC that anyone has on campus. Also, I recently checked the usage and realized that not even 10% of its power is being utilized. I hope this blog post will help you in understanding the core architecture of the HPC. Architecture The Architecture of High Performance Compu...
