High Performance Computing and Project Lab

The High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Project Lab at The NorthCap University is a specialized facility that brings together advanced computational infrastructure and project-based learning. It is designed to support research, innovation, and hands-on development in cutting-edge technologies.

The lab features a high-performance cluster with one master node and four compute nodes powered by Intel Xeon 16-core processors. With a combined peak performance of over 1 teraflops, the cluster enables large-scale simulations, data analytics, algorithm development, and parallel programming.

Students and researchers actively use the facility for developing projects in areas such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Data Science, Big Data, Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Simulation Technologies.

Key Features of the Lab include:

• High-performance cluster with Intel Xeon processors and parallel computing support
• Tools for data science and AI: Python (NumPy, Pandas, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, Matplotlib)
• Big Data framework: Hadoop ecosystem for distributed data processing
• Development platforms for immersive technologies: Unity, ARCore, VR tools, and Xbox console for interactive projects
• Collaboration and coding tools: Jupyter Notebooks, Git & GitHub, Linux-based scripting environment

The HPC and Project Lab supports the entire project lifecycle, from ideation and prototyping to testing and deployment. Open to all B. Tech students under faculty mentorship, it fosters teamwork, innovation, and interdisciplinary learning while preparing students to excel in next-generation technologies.
