HPC

The High Performance Computing (HPC) facility at IIT Palakkad supports advanced computational research, simulation, and data-intensive applications. The institute currently hosts four HPC clusters: Madhava, Chandra, Bhavani, and Param Vidya. This state-of-the-art facility is equipped to support work in areas such as materials design, drug discovery, protein folding, climate modeling, big data analytics, and the advancement of fundamental science and engineering. It is accessible to researchers and students from departments including Physics, Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Civil Engineering, enabling cutting-edge interdisciplinary research.

The HPC is used by faculty, research staff and students at IIT Palakkad to investigate  complex research problems in science and engineering.

• Understanding and designing materials with novel physical properties by performing atomistic quantum mechanical simulations.

• Design of nanoscale transistors for next generation electronic applications.

• Design of novel bio-molecules with applications in medicine.

• Design of large structures such as bridges and buildings.

• Performing computational fluid dynamic simulations

• Understanding the process of heat transfer in complex systems such as engines.

• Solving non-equilibrium dynamics in quantum Hamiltonians
