Centre for Computational and Data Sciences, IIT Kharagpur

The Centre for Computational and Data Sciences (CCDS) at Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT Kharagpur) has been established in March 2017 with a mandate to promote next-generation interdisciplinary research and teaching activities that involve state-of-the-art high-performance computing (HPC) platforms. IIT Kharagpur is going to get a supercomputing facility of 1 Peta-flop computing power under the National Supercomputing Mission (NSM), Govt. of India. This facility will be built, managed, and operated under CCDS to provide large-scale computational support to the researchers of IIT Kharagpur, who are engaged in research activities in diverse areas of national importance. This facility will accelerate and evolve the level of research currently being done with manifold improvement in output and efficiency. The research activities of CCDS will address building hardware and software for HPC systems, Data Management, Analytics, Visualizations, etc, along with promoting cutting-edge research in different HPC application domains that include but are not limited to Computational Biology, Drug Design, Atmospheric Modeling, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Geo-Scientific Computations, Modeling and Mining of Heterogeneous Information Network, Multi-scale Modeling of Novel Materials, Computational Chemistry, Computational Physics, Cryptanalysis, Numerical Mathematics, Computational Mechanics, Non-equilibrium Molecular Dynamics, etc.
