Students from fourth semester Bachelors in Information Technology (BIT) Program, DoCSE visited the High Performance Computing (HPC) facility located at Kathmandu Information Technology Center. This visit was a part of their Software Engineering course by Mr. Saugat Singh, Lecturer, DoCSE to gain hands-on exposure to hardware infrastructure, system architecture, and the practical considerations of designing high-performance and scalable software systems.

Student got an overview of how a large scale computation facility like HPC is built from individual pieces of computer/server, how mulitple computation node, storage nodes are assembled in a server rack via high bandwidth network switches and routers. Later an overview was provided about HPC application and usage of such large scale computation and where student's engineering project can be scaled in order to run it in a HPC facility.

This visit was facilitated by Mr. Sanjog Sigdel, Lecturer, DoCSE, Member at Kathmandu University Information Technology Center.
