About Industrial Visit:

An industrial visit to CDAC was organized by the Department of MCA to enhance student’s knowledge on advance technology and to give an idea about which technology used in industries.

Students reached C-DAC Knowledge Centre at around 10.20 AM, and were received by the staff who guided them to the Conference Hall. Here, the students and faculty members were met by Mrs. Ranjana, Project Engineer, who briefed them about the organization and functions of C-DAC.

Mrs. Deepthi, Technical Officer, C-DAC, received them at the Super Computing Laboratory, and made a brief presentation about the lab. She explained about the super computer PARAM Padma-II installed in the lab – this super computer is an enhanced version of the earlier one. She also gave a lecture on how a super computer works, illustrating this with examples. She outlined the various services which are given by C-DAC for both Government and private industrial organizations.

She explained about the Intel Xeon-Phi (KNL) cores, Clustering monitoring tools, Grid computing, High performance Computing (HPC), Reconfigurable Computing System (RCS), Rocks 5.0 on RHEL and infini band 20Gbps. She also enumerated on the PARAM Yuva-II in C-DAC Pune, used in weather forecasting.

The session ended with a hearty thanks and question & answer. Students asked about their doubts regarding the topic discussed by the technical officer and how to get an internship in CDAC. As the icing on the cake, the resource person of C-DAC informed us about the various projects that the organization will provide for final year students of MCA.
