This Supercomputer will be used as a tool for carrying out modelling, simulation and data analysis (modern R&D methodologies) in multiple science and engineering domains. Research Scholars can obtain fast modelling and Simulations results of very real life complex problem statements of their research in diverse field of applications.
By educating and training the students (both undergraduate and graduate) in this area, the institute will serve the purpose of capability building thus catering to the growing need for simulation and data-driven decision making in problems of national and state importance.
This new PARAM Super-computing Facility at NIT Agartala is equipped with the latest processing and accelerator technology from the world leading organizations Intel and NVIDIA and can be easily referred to as the world’s most compact and energy efficient super-computing solution.
