SC&IS : High Performance Computing Facility (HPCF)

scis_HPC

The University High Performance Computing Facility at Room No.31, in the SC&IS, new building, was funded from the DST Purse & UGC UPE-II program, and envisaged as an important tool to enable us to raise the level of our research to remain academically competitive, especially for research problems which involved large data sets, and numerical calculations. The facility has recently been upgraded with a 220 Compute Cores, 128 SMP Cores, 2880 GPU Cores (1 x Tesla K40) Cluster. Apart from this cluster we also have 160 Compute Cores , 48 SMP Cores & approx. 5000 GPU Cores (2 x Tesla K20) Cluster.

The HPCF Centre is conceived of as a functionally distributed supercomputing environment, housing leading-edge computing systems, with sophisticated software packages, and connected by a powerful high-speed fibre-optic network. The computing facilities are connected to the campus LAN, WLAN and also to the Internet.

The technology which is used to build this cluster is xCAT and the scheduler used is PBS. By using this scheduler we can manage the user applications and we can implement the policies. It is a very powerful tool. In order to provide the low latency we have used the separate switches for MPI(Infiniband), Storage(10G) and IPMI(1 Gig Ethernet). In this cluster we have attached the storage with 127 TB capacity.

Scheduler used:

PBS: Job scheduler software tool, in this we have already implemented the fair share policy i.e. all users can get equal priority, using this we can submit batch and parallel jobs

 

Application softwares and compilers:

 

  • Open MPI 
  • C, C++, FORTRAN compilers 

A warm welcome to the modified and updated website of the Centre for East Asian Studies. The East Asian region has been at the forefront of several path-breaking changes since 1970s beginning with the redefining the development architecture with its State-led development model besides emerging as a major region in the global politics and a key hub of the sophisticated technologies. The Centre is one of the thirteen Centres of the School of International Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi that provides a holistic understanding of the region.

Initially, established as a Centre for Chinese and Japanese Studies, it subsequently grew to include Korean Studies as well. At present there are eight faculty members in the Centre. Several distinguished faculty who have now retired include the late Prof. Gargi Dutt, Prof. P.A.N. Murthy, Prof. G.P. Deshpande, Dr. Nranarayan Das, Prof. R.R. Krishnan and Prof. K.V. Kesavan. Besides, Dr. Madhu Bhalla served at the Centre in Chinese Studies Programme during 1994-2006. In addition, Ms. Kamlesh Jain and Dr. M. M. Kunju served the Centre as the Documentation Officers in Chinese and Japanese Studies respectively.

The academic curriculum covers both modern and contemporary facets of East Asia as each scholar specializes in an area of his/her interest in the region. The integrated course involves two semesters of classes at the M. Phil programme and a dissertation for the M. Phil and a thesis for Ph. D programme respectively. The central objective is to impart an interdisciplinary knowledge and understanding of history, foreign policy, government and politics, society and culture and political economy of the respective areas. Students can explore new and emerging themes such as East Asian regionalism, the evolving East Asian Community, the rise of China, resurgence of Japan and the prospects for reunification of the Korean peninsula. Additionally, the Centre lays great emphasis on the building of language skills. The background of scholars includes mostly from the social science disciplines; History, Political Science, Economics, Sociology, International Relations and language.

Several students of the centre have been recipients of prestigious research fellowships awarded by Japan Foundation, Mombusho (Ministry of Education, Government of Japan), Saburo Okita Memorial Fellowship, Nippon Foundation, Korea Foundation, Nehru Memorial Fellowship, and Fellowship from the Chinese and Taiwanese Governments. Besides, students from Japan receive fellowship from the Indian Council of Cultural Relations.
