Honours in High Performance Computing

Information Technology | B.Tech. ( IT)

Currently, High Performance Computing (HPC) is one of the trending technologies in IT industries. The availability of voluminous data in the current era and the requirement of speedy processing of that data demands HPC. Also, nowadays HPC becomes essential due to advances in AI / ML algorithms that improve the accuracy at the cost of highly complex computations.

HPC uses supercomputers and parallel processing techniques for solving compute-intensive tasks. HPC systems have the ability to deliver near-real-time performance through the concurrent use of computing resources. HPC gives a high speed, powerful, and reliable platform to the business for executing, and monitoring jobs on remote clusters, clouds, and other resources so that the organization can concentrate on other important business processes. The other buzzing trend in the IT industries “Big Data Analytics” goes hand in hand with HPC. On the Cloud and in Data centers, HPC allows us to arrange, envision, streamline, and investigate the big data solutions. The availability of HPC based standard libraries/APIs liberates students, researchers, analysts, and architects to concentrate on their crucial work and invest less energy figuring out how to run applications and migrating information around to improve productivity.
