NSUT: Research will get speed with the help of supercomputer, AI can be used in the university itself

Students of Netaji Subhash University of Technology (NSUT) will now be able to conduct research with the help of supercomputers. With this, students will not have to pay fees for using software from multinational companies. Students will be able to use Artificial Intelligence in the university itself. Up to 40 students can sit together and speed up the research project. Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia dedicated the Center of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence to the students on Wednesday.

The Deputy Chief Minister said that to match the pace of fast-growing countries in the field of technology, we have to think ahead of the present time. It will start with universities. He said that the future of the country cannot be changed by any political or bureaucratic place, but only schools, colleges, and universities can take the country forward on the path of progress. So if we have to strengthen the roots of our country, then we need to strengthen the school education system. The Deputy Chief Minister said that getting good packages from multinational companies to the students of our university is just the beginning.

Features of Center of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence

The Center of Excellence is well equipped with high-end graphical processing units, workstations, data storage, and communication systems. The Center of Excellence has also installed a state-of-the-art supercomputing system with 324 GB of RAM and eight graphical processing units, 100 TB of storage, smart racks, and high-speed switches, capable of performing training at five petaflops. The center also houses 10 high-end workstations that have independent graphical processing units and are connected to supercomputers with 256GB of RAM and 10Gbps connectivity. In addition, 30 terminals are also provided here to meet the needs of the users. Up to 40 users can access the center simultaneously.

Students need to think out-of-the-box: Sisodia

Sisodia also interacted with the newly appointed 90 teaching and non-teaching faculty of NSUT. He said that it is both a pride and a challenge to be involved in a university like NSUT. The university is currently ranked third in the national ranking and now it is the responsibility of the new members to take the institution to the top.

The Deputy Chief Minister said that teachers and students need to change their habits and mindset to make their way in the international rankings. They need to think out of the box. The minister cited the example of brothers and sisters from a village in Punjab who started an IT company in their village and provided employment to hundreds of engineers and technicians in their village and the surrounding area.
